Technical & Visual Assessment

• Technical Grade: About Uncirculated (AU 50 – AU 55)

• Paper & Surface Preservation:

  • Displays strong, original paper body, bright margins, and firm ink embossing throughout.

  • Shows light handling waviness and subtle surface rippling from storage/counting, but is free of hard, fiber-breaking circulation folds or wallet creases.

  • Corners remain square with minimal handling touch, and the margins are completely intact without nicks, tears, or pinholes.

  • Bold, vibrant royal blue ink on the Treasury seal, numeral "5", and serial numbers.

• Centering: Asymmetrical obverse margins with a distinct shift toward the right frame, resulting in a noticeably tighter right border.
