Message:: [QUOTE="Notaphylic_C, post: 24609629, member: 130786"]I wouldn't be patronizing that auction again. To me, repairs & issues should be stated before any auction & most of the top tier auction houses extend this courtesy. I had a bulk submission with PMG last year & got 2 notes that were sold to me as UNC that came back with disappointing grades. One was AU58 5 Pounds from Australia & the other was UNC64 (no EPQ) for my personal collection. I want to part with the 1st but keep the 2nd one (from Malta)  as a reminder of how often we "roll the dice" buying ungraded. Before my PMG submission, I had about 150 Bank of Canada notes graded by our BCS (Banknote Certification Services) in Canada & was surprised by some of my low grades.  He used a light box to detect the most minor imperfection(s). Some notes I that I expected an UNC64 got only AU50 & some I expected AU55's got an EF40. This helped me lower my expectations when I did my first PMG submission. You must be pleased with the One Baht with the Gem 65![/QUOTE]
