<p>[QUOTE="Dr Kegg, post: 1233545, member: 23476"]In order to get a note graded/authenticated, you would need to either join a society such as PMG or PCGS (there is another, CGA that does not have a membership fee, but I've never used them before). Their fees start at $39/yr. THEN you would send in the note with the grading fee and wait a few weeks to get it back. Basically they look over the note, authenticate that the note and error are real and not created by someone trying to make a quick buck, and grade it based on the 70 point scale. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another way is to discuss the note with a local coin/paper money shop owner and see if they belong to either PMG or PCGS. You could piggyback on their membership and basically just pay the grading fee. I would make sure you know them first and document everything before wholly trusting a stranger with this type of error note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
