Perfect centering front to back and side to side, but honestly 68-70
Grades are so very close its hard to tell them apart, only the well trained
Eye...LOL

 

Thanks MPC....I checked a few of mine, the margins aren't really that egregious. Upon checking closer, the back on one of the SCs has fatter top/bottom margins than right/left but it wasn't egregious. Very very marginal, IMO. Maybe I'll upload the 66 pics here or on another thread, front-and-back, and you can comment.

What's somewhat strage is that the 66 has the EPQ designation but the 68 does not.

 

I would like to see both of those PPQ Or EPQ is simply the paper quality but
68 should always have that on it, now you got me curious...LOL

 

Here you go...front/back of the PMG 66 1957 SC and front/back of a PMG 68 1957B SC.

Tell me where the 2 grade difference is coming from. Grading isn't my strength but I'm surprised it's not jumping out at me.

 

Very nice collection Rusty.

Thanks,

Mike

 

The cert on the PMG site says it is a 68EPQ.

 

My SC ? It doesn't say it on the PMG insert like the 66 does.

Check out the photos.

 

Yes, your note. Go to the PMG website and input the cert number from the back. it comes up as 68EPQ.

 

I have never seen a 68 without the designation PPQ or EPQ, with a 68 thats
a given, i have seen a few 67,S and lower with out it though.

 

Thanks Mike
I think i short changed you, here,s a couple more nice ones from my collection

 

They are knocks outs!!!

 

So what you are saying is I have a PMG Error encasing.

I will start the bidding at $12,000....

It's either an oversight or someone (a substitute grader that day ?) at PMG figured that a 68 grade implied PPQ/EPQ. Ditto with a 69 or 70, I guess.

It is weird. Maybe I'll reach out to PMG.

 

What about the grades of the two 1957's, 68 vs. 66 ?

 

PMG didn’t always use EPQ.

Notes must qualify for PMG’s Exceptional Paper Quality designation (EPQ) to be graded 65 and higher. Very early PMG notes do not have the designation, and can be resubmitted ($5) and reholdered.

 

The foil seal on the front is a indication of a older holder, so its probably
Just that, but if the serial number is coming EPQ on PMG site then its time to
Ask some questions.

 

No, that foil seal is a sticker from RQN. RQN (Review Quality Notes) is a company that tries to be the paper money equivalent of CAC.

 

Tries to be..., i think they need to try harder...LOL
