I only have access to PMG population reports, maybe someone else has PCGS and can post those stats.

There are currently 1,398 PMG graded F-60 Speelman|White $2 LTs (small red, scalloped seals)

Thanks all..

Seems you have to be a member for the population data from PCGS Currency. Anyone have that info?

 

I agree, these notes are very interesting looking.

 

Yes, you need to be a member for PCGS Currency Population Reports.

Thanks Clay! So was there nothing below a 60 graded by PCGS?

 

Thanks for the data krispy & clayirving!

So if I'm reading this right, it seems PCGS generally gives these bills a higher grading?

Be careful reading too much into any comparisons, the two companies grading systems are NOT interchangeable to imply how one company grades compared to the other at the same grade for the same Series note.

PMG and PCGS Currency Grading Scales for Paper Money:

• Paper Money Guarantee: PMG PAPER MONEY GRADING SCALE

• PCGS Currency: PCGS Numerical Grading Scale

 

Correct.

 

I wouldn't make that assumption - It could mean that no one has sent a lower quality note than 61 to PCGS.

 

Ha! Maybe I will be the first!

 

Most people shoot for highest grade rank population notes, some may try for the lowest. Maybe you can take that rank until someone else sends in another... I have a heavily worn example that might fit the bill!
