<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vrt, post: 791388, member: 15308&quot;]I think this note is perfectly qualified for 65 by industry standards</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-----------</p><p><b>Gem New 65</b></p><p><br /></p><p>A Gem note is one that at first glance appears perfect. After examination, however, one or more minor faults may be noticed that keep the note from attaining a higher grade. Such minor faults may include a counting crinkle, minor edge handling, faint handling marks or finger smudges, or very minor rounding of the corners. The centering should be well above average, although minor imperfections in the centering are permissible if the margins are broad. Embossing may or may not be present, but notes at this grade level will not receive the “PPQ” label if they are not fully original. An otherwise Superb note that has been pressed or is flat with no embossing may receive a “65” grade without the “PPQ” modifier. Notes in this and any New grade will, of course, have absolutely no folds or bends. It should be stressed that although notes at this grade will (by definition) be less than perfect, they will still be above average notes that may appear to the average viewer to be pristine.</p><p>-----------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that some members (like urbanchemist) have their own standards. Also mpcusa&#039;s comment about &quot;very Poor&quot; margins surpriced me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
