<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JTL, post: 2577218, member: 83510&quot;]I am relatively new to US currency collecting, and I recently bought a series 1928 $100 FRN in XF condition, as per the RCGS holder it is in. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a beginner collector, one of my chief concerns is that I dont unknowingly purchase a counterfeit note, and it is my understanding that the US $100 is one of the most counterfeited notes out there. I like to use the fingertip feel test of the raised printing on US bills to check authenticity; however in this case, the note is in a holder from Rare Currency Grading Service, and I assume you cannot --or should not-- remove the note from a grading service holder, once it has been graded. With that being the case, how much should I rely upon the RCGS grading and authentication without being able to handle the note out of the holder? I cant seem to find a website or any information about the company online. Are they still in business?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since I bought the note for a relatively inexpensive price, I am less concerned about the accuracy of the grading on the holder than I am about getting stuck with a counterfeit. Any advice or input from US currency collectors would be very welcome[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
