Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage 1939 issue presents in a condition typical for its age. The grade is primarily determined by the significant rounding on all four corners and the moderate wear visible along the edges. The surfaces have survived relatively well without heavy creasing, showing only expected toning and mild aging.
