Owner's Description

I love the PMG 30 EPQ grade with this quality. There are almost no folds, certainly not visible. The colors are superb for the grade. The centering is as good as it gets and corners are excellent except one which has a slight fold. I have a hard time seeing why this didn't grade 40 or above. There are a few very faint folds so that must be the reason it graded so low. Also, the note is vaguely discolored, but less so than most of these 150 year old notes. PMG has reported almost 500 of these notes and only 41 have graded higher WITH the EPQ moniker.
