These are notes that bear no visible evidence of restoration and that retain all signs of fully original paper quality, such as paper wave, embossing, and bold ink color and eye appeal. “PPQ” notes should also have above average paper for the grade that is free of defects such as tears, pinholes, or other problems. This is not done to penalize those notes that are not fully original, as many are very collectible and highly valuable. Instead, this system is designed to <i>reward</i> those notes, both circulated and New, that possess premium paper quality and complete originality. It should be understood that even though a note may be fully original and free of any restoration, it still might not qualify for the “PPQ” designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know why your SC didn&#039;t get the designation, but it didn&#039;t. I&#039;ve seen it before but it is unusual.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could cut it out and try PMG, but since you mentioned a registry set you must be in the PCGS camp....and it&#039;s not a very rare or valuable note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
