CGC and RCGS both show up, though by far the big three are PCGS, PMG and CGA.</p><p><br /></p><p>There has been much discussion, flaming and heated debate on other forums regarding the relative accuracy of those big three services. </p><p><br /></p><p>As always, no matter who&#039;s holder a note is in....Grade the note, not the holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is an excellent excellent illustrated book on grading standards for US paper money by Herbert J Kwart; &quot;United States Paper Money Grading Standards.&quot; - Five Seasons Publishers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
