PCGS VS PMG CROSS GRADING TEST

I will be testing that theory with my next order, iam sure there is a little rivalry there between PCGS and PMG, had a buddy of mine submit a Series 611 $5
to PCGS in a PMG holder was a 67 at PMG now a 68 at PCGS and now its a top of the pop

So, the top pop game is also based on corruption at the TPG companies?

 

I have always thought that, of the two TPG's, (PMG & PCGS) that PMG was stricter and PCGS a little more forgiving. This is not math or science. It is a third party evaluation of authentication and a professional opinion of the condition, centering, and eye appeal of paper money.

 

Corruption no, a different set of eyes yes, though i would think grading standards
Would be similar based on prior experience, a little more then half of the notes i
Crossed were from PMG to PCGS and those always came back the same, already
Learned a substantial amount based on the several submissions i have made just
allot of trial and error

 

Of course it is ! since i submit to both i would like to have a good idea of what each
Is looking for and i have already learned allot

 

i already posted the results a few days ago, just got the notes in today so here are
the comparisons

 

first up Series 461 PCGS to PMG was in the fact that this one did not change a very
Tough graded example
