Product information
Congo Belge - Belgian Congo 1 Franc
DESCRIPTION: This is a fairly small note measuring in at 105mm x 57mm edge to edge. Its dated 15 Oct 1914 (15-10-14) in the top right corner.The first two images were scanned on an HP Officejet Pro 8500 at a resolution of 2400 DPI. They were then reduced in size to 500 Horizontal Pixels as per BidorBuy specifications. The final images were taken by camera (Canon EOS 300D), one with direct sunlight behind it to show up any holes.
CONDITION: I am no expert but would grade this note VG - Very Good based on the definition below, with an attractive appearance.There are a couple of tiny holes, only really visible when held up to a strong light source, as per one of the pictures below. The holes appear namely in the centre where the folds meet and another on the left of her chest, they all appear to be fold related. No tears extend into the design. Paper shows some dirt and softening. Please study the pictures for a more detailed description.
I WILL BE ADDING MORE BANK NOTES OVER THE NEXT WEEK
High definition images are available on request, through 'Ask The Seller A Question'.
GRADED ON PAR WITH THE DEFINITION BELOW, AS PER IBNS: www.theibns.org/joomla/index.php
VERY GOOD (VG): A well used note, abused but still intact. Corners may have much wear and rounding, tiny nicks, tears may extend into the design, some discoloration may be present, staining may have occurred, and a small hole may be seen at center from excessive folding. Staple and pinholes are usually present, and the note itself is quite limp but NO pieces of the note can be missing. A note in VG condition may still have an overall not unattractive appearance.
