<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 1173329, member: 27107&quot;]I currently collect small-size notes, and was entertaining the idea of collecting large size notes.</p><p>A good friend and <b>very experienced</b> paper money guru advised me to &quot;Only buy third party graded notes with good eye appeal that you like, buy the best grade you can afford, examine each and every note carefully, be patient and start with the less expensive large size notes until you gain confidence in your grading abilities&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once PMG enters the FR. # and serial number, they will see their previous grade and notations. Will PMG change their grade ? I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s doubtful. At this point you could take your chances sending it to a different grading company for their opinion, or leave it alone. It&#039;s not unusual for notes to be removed from holders, repaired or improved and regraded or resold, being described as nicer than the previous assigned grade. I think the note has excellent eye appeal, with great colors and clean paper. Some of the expert note doctors can do minor repairs undetectable to you and I, but not hidden from the expert graders working for the third party grading companies. I&#039;m a small size collector, and would also like to hear what some of the large size collectors have to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
