Does anyone know if PMG has a way to look up a graded notes identification number? I looked at the site, but didnt see anything that jumped out at me.
a couple weeks ago, i bought a note that was the top graded note of its kind. None finer, and it didnt share the spot with any others.
Well, the note came in today... and something about the note makes me think something is 'off'. The note in question is a $1 FRN. On a heavily circulated note i have, washington is going bald, but you can clearly see the 'receeding' hairline. On this note i have, graded 67 EPQ, washington looks fully bald! You can see the forehead, and then the hair on the back of his head.. but NO hair on top... just a blank white spot.
So now i am worried the note might be a fake.
I have fake notes in my collection that upon a closer look, you can clearly see where the note was a copy. On this note i just dont see evidence like that. Washingtons head is missing detail, but is not printed like you would see on a bad print job. To the left and right of the oval around Washingtons portrait, there are those leaves... and the leaves have a hatch pattern behind them... well on this new note, the hatch pattern in the background is nearly non-existant.
Please take a look at the note ... let me know if this is a normal 'underinking' or a fake note.... or even something else
also... is there a plce to look up PMG certificate numbers like you can with PCGS coins?

better scans to come tonight. my work scanner is old
