1977 BD 1031 North Carolina license plate

1977 North Carolina license plate BD 1031. Good original paint but has some wear to it. Has some scratches on the numbers/letters/border trim. Could use some cleaning up. 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 1978 tag at the time so it has only seen a year's use before being put into storage.
