Is almost Very Fine really just a note in Fine condition, but a high quality specimen?

quality or thickness

Yes.

Another way of describing it would be "Fine+" (but "aVF" is a much more optimistic way of looking at it).

It's almost Very Fine when the dealer sells it, but Fine+ when you sell it to a dealer.

Ok here's another one. I remember reading something about pin holes but I can't find it any more.

I am currently reading the description of a banknote and it says:

Two pin holes, otherwise fine.

So does that mean if it didn't have pinholes it would be fine, or, it's got pinholes but it is still graded as fine?

It is a damged note, but besides the damage it is fine!

Should be re-rated!

The pin holes reduce the value of an otherwise fine note!
