Question Godot13, what are the chance of getting a higher grade note of this series/denomination? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:31, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've added an ALT version. The back is slightly toned, but the condition (edges, lack of folds) is better. Chris- It's a beautiful note, and fortunately fairly easy to find in uncirculated condition.--Godot13 (talk) 01:24, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Support ALT - Presentation is better, quality of the specimen is better. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:27, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, Ostmark also has various historical meanings not associated with currency. (And, written as Остмарқ, it happens to be a brand of beer made in Kaliningrad. Valuable info, no?) Sca (talk) 13:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
