One of my bank teller ladies called me yesterday because she got over 30 1975 $50 notes. She said a lot of them were in nice shape. I went down, a lot of the notes were in EF, I got one in AU, most were Crow/Bauey. There were however 5-6 of these notes that would have been or were in UNC, but somebody basically crumpled them up to either make them looked used or destroyed the notes so nobody else could save/grab those notes. I could tell somebody did that because the notes had razor sharp edges/corners, no stains, marks, no folds, bright colors, deep embossing, totally white paper on ends and on back, the paper wasn't even yellowed. But somebody just crumpled them before handing them in, just take a new bill in your wallet and crumple a note up in your hand, that's what these looked like. Mind you they didn't crumple them into a tight little ball, they were just lightly crumpled in a loose ball, but the bills were not worth keeping in this condition, so I didn't bother getting those bills. Out all the 34 notes, I only got one that was in AU. Rest again weren't worth keeping. But man was I pissed because I could have gotten a good half dozen $50s in UNC if somebody hadn't wrecked them.
