<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1556815, member: 6986&quot;]One of the problems that the rest of the world has with US TPG companies is their grading standards.&nbsp; In the rest of the world a note is either UNC or it is not.&nbsp; Under the IBNS standards and those employed outside the US there cannot be 10 levels of UNC grades.&nbsp; Teller marks, rounded corners and any other handling does not an UNC note make outside the US yet these are all acceptable in the UNC grades used by the US TPG companies.&nbsp; The general rule that most of the world note dealers and collectors I know use when it comes to US TPG&#039;d world notes is to take the grade with a grain of salt and assume that the TPG assigned grade is at least one grade lower on the world standards unless it is 66 or higher (e.g, a TPG 64 is an AU note).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
