    The Item:
    A pleasing example of
    "So-Called Dollar"
    . Still in nice condition with lots of the original detail still evident. It has been holed for wearing with a ribbon I believe. Totally original, it has never been cleaned. As grading is subjective please see the pictures and judge for yourself.
