Old Banknote Condition Grading and Reference Table for Secondary Market Prices

In discussions about where to buy old banknotes in Hong Kong, the condition (or "grade") of the banknote is the most crucial factor determining its final transaction price. Below is a table summarizing conditions and values, referencing professional banknote grading standards:

Condition Grade Banknote Condition Description Collection Value Assessment and Market Popularity
Uncirculated (UNC) Clean and neat note surface, no creases, fading, or stains, sharp corners, retains original printing luster. Extremely High. Extremely rare in the market, a top target for high-priced acquisition of discontinued banknotes, with huge investment potential.
Extremely Fine (XF) Only minor edge wear or a maximum of one or two light creases, paper still crisp, no significant stains. High. Highly favored by experienced collectors, limited circulation in the market, with highly competitive acquisition prices.
Very Fine (VF) Clear signs of circulation, multiple creases, but the design is clear, with no severe damage, missing corners, or tears. Medium-High. A main force in market transactions, with stable preservation value and liquidity.
Fine (F and below) Note surface has obvious stains, many creases, severe fading, or even small tears, wormholes, or repair marks. General. Still possesses basic historical value; specific old banknote acquisition prices need to be discussed based on the actual degree of wear.

(Note: The table above is for reference only. Actual First Series Renminbi acquisition prices may fluctuate due to macroeconomic market conditions, special serial numbers (such as "leopard" or consecutive numbers), etc., and will be subject to on-site physical appraisal.)
