[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1688975, member: 37925"]You have the right idea. Buy them graded to avoid counterfeits. PMG is a good choice. Despite the lack of security features, counterfeits of antique paper money are uncommon. They won't be made for circulation, because retailers are much more cautious about older notes nowadays. It's certainly possible to create a counterfeit for the collector's market, but the knowledge needed to successfully pass them is unlikely to be found among average counterfeiters. Knowledge of plate numbers, sheet positions and serial number ranges are necessary to make a good counterfeit. There were some large-size counterfeits created by foreign governments.
