Owner's Description

This Tombstone Note was another cross over from CGA. This time, the CGA grade was 45, with no mention of the pinhole. I must say when I received the note, I inspected it closely and did not locate the pinhole. I am sure it is there, but I can't find it even now. Fortunately, I was anticipating a downgrade based on my viewing of the note, and the price I paid, but the pinhole was disappointing. It is surprising that CGA did not identify the pinhole, and I have having my doubts whether I will buy any more CGA graded notes.

I like the design of this note and the name is a really good one - Tombstone Note. This note is ranked number 85 in the book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes (Q. David Bowers).
