The HK $500 bill grade is ridiculous as I saw same note in the PMG 30 that was badly creased and dirty.....and my one gets a 35. It will have to be cracked out of the slab when the time comes to sell my collection.
Pretty well known. ND, USA. The PMG grade on the $500 note is ridiculous as they gave a VF 30 to a note covered in creases and dirt and a 35 for mine.....makes no sense at all.
The Brits sure made some very attractive currency. The US hasn't had any eye grabbing designs for a long while. I collect small size US $1 bills (1928 and later) and they don't even come close to looking as nice as any that you posted.
The Colonial era helped create such amazing notes and the fact that we also have the British Isles too.....Isle of Man, etc...our early White notes of £5 upwards were pretty ordinary looking, though I have one arriving today by Fedex.....Mahon £5 see below. FI, the missing right hand top corner is not damage and merely aided the 'paper maker.'
