Western Samoa 2 Tala

[@PolarCurrency]

Love the old school note and great information on "Western" Samoa. Two sunsets! Didn't notice until you pointed it out. Better to have something than nothing! Happy New Year!

The advice that I took from Stuplubak with regards to circulated notes is this: get the first note in any condition you can get, and in the future, if you find a better quality one, upgrade it :0) Thanks for sharing!

I like that idea!

on many notes like this I love the grading of the colour on the suns. Just the grading in general, it gives the note some energy.

[@NumismaticNoteswithBenjamin]

It does make the note look much more dynamic.

I have quite a number of lower grade notes, mostly older scarce notes. I only upgrade to higher quality if one is not too expensive. Many fine or very fine notes are very acceptable, in my opinion.

@@Rock51ie I agree. I did not always feel that way...

I just looked at my list and I have this note in Unc. It is really stunning looking at the scan on my tablet. The color and the spiral engraving really stands out.
