<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 2269945, member: 27107&quot;]Depends.</p><p>I usually won&#039;t buy any Large Size, or high denomination notes unless they have&nbsp; been graded. My exception to date has been a recent $1,000 note that I bought raw from an ex-PCGS grader that told me the note would grade with a *PQ designation.</p><p>I trusted his expertise and it worked out. I prefer original, unmolested notes.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/1000%20Front_zps9gznpjyb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as grading companies go....if you plan on auctioning, any time soon and prefer eBay, Heritage, Stacks, etc. they will need to be raw, PCGS or PMG. If it&#039;s a high valued note, the auction house may advise you to have it graded first, or they will send it in for grading for you. National&#039;s and Obsolete&#039;s are a horse of a different color. If you want the note graded to keep in your private collection, I recommend Greg Davis at Superior Grading. All of my recent submission have gone there.</p><p><br /></p><p>An example of a mid-grade, unmolested Large Size note.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/2%20large_zpse0iejycw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
