Found this at a big coin show today. Gotta love coin shows. The price was really sweet so I
opened the wallet and brought her home.

when looking at the back bottom right corner of the note is there a crease?
who is this TPG? anyone know much about them?
they do have a website and are fairly new as a TPG...any comments...
I also saw that an UNC 62 can have "Excessive margin asymmetry, major handling and corner folds not in the design" ....

friedsquid, well I put the note on a light table and then closely examined it with a high
intensity LED light. There "seems" to be a depression in the lower LEFT corner of the face and
a slight "hump" in the lower right of the reverse. The edges of the note in that area show no
signs of "disturbance". Is it a "fold", don't know.
I reviewed the grading standards of the IBNS (International Bank Note Society):
"UNCIRCULATED (UNC): A perfectly preserved note, never mishandled by the issuing authority, a bank teller, the public or a collector. Paper is clean and firm, without discoloration. Corners are sharp and square, without any evidence of rounding. (Rounded corners are often telltale sign of a cleaned or “doctored” note.) An uncirculated note will have its original natural sheen.
NOTE: Some note issues are most often available with slight evidence of counting folds (creases). Also, French-printed notes usually have a sight ripple in the paper. Many collectors and dealers often refer to such a note as AU-UNC."
Maybe what we're observing is a counting fold. ?? Oh well, it is a nice note and the cost was quite reasonable. Thanks for your observations and comments.

As long as you didn't pay more than $50 than i think you got a nice note at a good price.
