<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 719597, member: 8033&quot;]I need to pick your brains here paper money hounds regarding Third Party Grading (TPGs) for paper money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which do you have most confidence in and why?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a reason I ask this. Many of you know I am not big on slabbing coins or paper but occasionally I do. About 3 months ago PCGS was running one of their specials so I sent a few notes in from work.</p><p>The notes in question were two consecutive 1999 $1 Atlanta star notes. Only 640,000 printed and I got these from a fresh pack of singles in my &quot;truck stop days&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now with the centering of the notes (especially the green seal) I figured one at MS64 and the other possibly a 66. Today I got the word. Both have graded MS66PPQ! Yes, I&#039;ll post pics when I actually get them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I plan on selling all of my stuff before my time on this world is over so I keep an eye on prices naturally.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this one on First City Curreny&#039;s website listed at $595 as the highest graded. I know, and respect the owner by the way. Very knowledgable and just a heck of a guy. Here&#039;s his PMG MS67.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fstctycurr.com/images/99fstar.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fstctycurr.com/images/99fstar.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fstctycurr.com/images/99fstar.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am by no means a proffesional paper grader but to me this is not a 67 note any more than the &quot;lesser&quot; of my notes is. To me the green seal centering is too far off.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So as I said ANY opinions would be appreciated. One of my notes I feel did merit a 66 but not both.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your input.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
