Oppose Crease across the woman's chest, significant yellowing on the bottom and on the "500" next to the woman, and dirt all around. Staxringoldtalkcontribs 16:12, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support --I appreciate the illustration, very intricate; enjoyed studying all of its features. To me, the crease adds character to the historical feel/value. --Neon Sky (talk) 20:49, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - its damage means it is not an accurate depiction of the banknote - the severe staining along the bottom could be misinterpreted as being part of the original design. (Maybe the stain could be edited out using photoshop?) Meowy 22:33, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, is it the obverse? Looks like the reverse to me - all the signature / date of issue / serial number / promise to pay the bearer stuff is normally on side we call the obverse. And it is cropped, it does not show the entire note: see http://www.atsnotes.com/shop-paper-money/russia-14.JPG
It's the obverse, as original Russian caption reads. Brand[t] 18:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
