<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 3197877, member: 5629&quot;]Thanks for the replies, guys.&nbsp; I&#039;ve just never read the PCGS nor PMG guidelines and figured that they would likely be similar to the IBNS guidelines (that are also outlined in the Krause World Paper Money catalogs).&nbsp; And I became curious what kind of &quot;nit-picking&quot; they developed to fit Uncs into 10 different grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>My understanding was that counting marks disqualified the note from Unc, but then I read the TPG guidelines fitting such marks into the 60-62 range.&nbsp; Looking through some &quot;registry sets&quot;, I noticed some Unc-62 notes that appeared to have these marks (like the one I referenced above).</p><p><br /></p><p>I mainly collect the harder heavier forms of money, but sometimes I get these pieces of paper in with lots I grab.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I find an interest in U.S. paper money, but am more fascinated with other world issues and have been learning to grade them based on IBNS standards (which seem to differ from the TPGS?).&nbsp; The one I posted here I received n a lot I bid on particularly for one coin.&nbsp; So, I consider that I only spent $1 for it!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It&#039;s happy in its BCW toploader and doesn&#039;t have any plans soon of taking a permanent vacation to be entombed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
