[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 2387031, member: 27107"]Perception; A way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression. Perception and acceptance is everything in numismatics. Right now, PMG and PCGS are the big dogs in paper currency grading. Their holders bring the most money at auction, and sometimes they are the only TPG's allowed at major auction houses, that and raw notes. I recently sent 10 high value CGA graded notes to PMG for grading, and [B]every single one[/B] came back graded [B]exactly[/B] as CGA had graded them. I like PMG and PCGS. I also like CGA, and Superior. I trust them and if I want to submit, there is no membership fees and turnaround time is half of the other two. I know the owner (CGA), John Spinelli, and have had many conversations with him, in person and on the phone. A really nice guy, and very knowledgeable. Learn how to grade and buy the note, not the holder. Educate yourself. Oh, the 1934 $20 appears to be graded accurately[/QUOTE]
