 * Support Looks good, or, at least, as good as it can look. I don't quite get why it's not cut straight: is this like the złoty of a few weeks back? Still, it's authentic, and authentic wins out over someone taking scissors to it in the modern day. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * No, there is no counterfoil involved in these notes. The margins could be better but these early notes could have anywhere from nearly perfect to horrendous margins. The redeeming factors are the marbled paper acquired by Franklin: it was only used for partial runs of two issues of currency- the present and the Continental Currency $20. It also grades choice uncirculated. Sadly, there are some who would trim margins to have a more "even" appearance...-Godot13 (talk) 18:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * While that might make sense for an engraving in a book or something, where the funny margins aren't really part of the artwork, why would you do that for currency?! Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:44, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The "rationale" is that even, level margins improve the eye-appeal (and usually the value) of the note. This tends to be more prevalent and true for notes from the mid 1860s forward while the older pieces tend to be left alone (but not always).--Godot13 (talk) 00:53, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
