So my 2nd set of notes just got graded by PMG. Here are the results [TABLE="width: 675"] [TR="class: datagrid_header"] Line Item Country Denom. Series Label Description Signatures Grade Comments [/TR] [TR="class: datagrid_ItemStyle"] 001 US $10 1928 Gold Certificate Woods Mellon 55 Good Embossing [/TR] [TR="class: datagrid_altitemstyle"] 002 US $1 1928 Legal Tender Note Woods Woodin 64 Good Embossing [/TR] [TR="class: datagrid_ItemStyle"] 003 US $1 1928 Legal Tender Note Woods Woodin 20 Minor Rust [/TR] [TR="class: datagrid_altitemstyle"] 004 US $100 1929 FRBN Chicago Jones Woods 64 Good Embossing [/TR] [TR="class: datagrid_ItemStyle"] 005 US $20 1963A FRN San Francisco Granahan Fowler 30 NET Ink [/TR] [/TABLE] My question is, good embossing refers to the seal being clear and not faded right? Im curious why ink resulted in a net grading, does PCGS also net grade on ink? Whereas the rust did not cause a net grade, why? Just trying to get the most bang for my bucks.....
I'm not sure why rust did not result in a net grade. Ink could mean an ink stain or teller stamp. Good embossing means that the pressure from the printing press left a raised impression on the opposite side. This indicates that the paper is original and not pressed. I have a question for you. When I click on the invoice number on the left to see the grades of my notes, it tells me membership is required. I'm an ANA member but not collectors-society. I called PMG and they saw the same issue, but stated I should be able to see it. Thanks and congrats
hmmm i dunno, i joined the collectors society, definitely worth it, for self submissions. Sounds like an error with ur account, you might consider making a second account to see if problem persists, or deal with their administrators. Thanks again for ur continual help!
I was looking and I dont find many notes with "good embossing" advertised as comments on their grading, but I see many Paper quality comments, are the comparable? is one worth more then the other, I would think paper quality suggests originality but knowing what I now know about embossing, the note could be ppq or epq and still be pressed, and even if the note isnt pressed and was just a weak strike on the embossing, a collector couldnt truly tell the difference if it got past the grading companies right? I guess im asking, in terms of originality of the note, embossing comment is best u can get am I correct?
