I found this description to give me a nice  ;D when I came upon a particular eBay auction.  The seller wrote the following in their description:  

The note appears to me to be in uncirculated condition. The only sign of handling is one or two light folds from where I folded it to put in my shirt pocket.

The seller is a 100% novice collector.  


  Smile from your heart.  ;D

Pretty good description. Of course if the note shows signs of handling, or light folds and or creases or worse yet a little bit of wear, by definition in must be something other than uncirculated.

I saw that one too - gave a good chuckle.   :D  It's honest though I guess in its own way sort of. ?

Interesting and ingenius way of describing the note's condition. But I wonder whether it is the same person who fold it twice and put into his shirt pocket. It might have gone through 5 or 6 persons hands during the circulation. Great words... :D
