1974 North Carolina license plate AFD 891

1974 North Carolina license plate AFD 891. Good original paint but has some wear to it. Could use some cleaning up. Has some scratches on the numbers/letters, mostly on the 8 and 9. This particular tag was in a lot I bought that came from the next door neighbor of a DMV worker from back in the day. It entered his collection after being turned in so the car owner could get their new 1975 tag at the time so it has only seen a year's use before being put into storage.
