As with the prior lot, Colombia private bank issues of 1900 are typically encountered heavily circulated. PMG holder mentions paper damage and tape repairs as some interior splits have been repaired with paper on the reverse. Otherwise, the ink colors are still bold and the serial number, while faded, is still visible.
