[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1580706, member: 4626"]Well decided to analyze the situation: CGA is in fact still in business. [url]http://www.cganotes.com/[/url] PCGS is obviously, and still grades currency. [url]http://www.pcgscurrency.com/index.html[/url] PMG is still in business (this is the currency grading arm of NGC). [url]http://www.ngccoin.com/about/currency-grading-PMG.aspx[/url] Other currency TPGs exist, but this seems to be the "big 3" as of right now. No other TPGs even made the first page in a google search. Not a scientific survey per se, but the first 200 eBay auctions of US paper money showed 48 graded notes. OK, so 98% ungraded may be overstating it. But still it looks like about 75% is ungraded. Shows that currency grading is nowhere as big as coin grading, but to be fair, currency collecting is nowhere as big as coin collecting either. Make of this what you will.[/QUOTE]
