For international buyers, please note that the new US postal rates for overseas shipping for first class shipments are generally very high and we are unable to change them. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. So please check the shipping cost to your location before bidding. I would grade this banknote as a good very fine or much better with all the details being very well preserved. The note is of rather thin paper and retains quite a bit of its original stiffens, crispiness and sheen. It is an attractive note, with evidence of light handling and minimum wear. It has light vertical folds and horizontal folds. The note has some soiling and light staining mostly in the left bottom corner. Its colors are still vivid and without fading. The edges of the note do not show any appreciable roughness and the corners are intact with minimum rounding and bumping if any. The note has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears and no splits and. This is a beautiful scarce note which would make a great addition to your collection of French banknotes. Please see photo for additional condition information.
