i got my 6 PCGS slabbed notes today ... a couple of them were graded "Apparent" and did note the problem below the grade - that is certaibnly a step in the right direction IMHO!
i do have a couple questions - on the back of the slab is a 7 digit number and a barcode.... what does that number represent? Is it just the number of the note that is graded - for instance if 2 notes are graded by that seller, both notes will have consecutive numbered barcodes??
A point i was completely unaware of ... PCGS slabbs are not slabbs!!!! They are nothing more then a stinking rigid OPEN edge sleeve!!! sure the open edge has a sticker covering 90% of it ... the note wont fall out, but air, moisture, smoke .. basically any contaminate... can and will find its way to the note
oh yeah.. i cut all 6 web-notes out of the slabs. having them slabbed added nothing to the value of the note!
I think i might stick with PMG for slabbed notes simply becuase (it appears) they do a slightly better job protecting the note!
