<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2453460, member: 56370&quot;]When purchasing large size type notes I have really come to appreciate original paper that has not been messed with.&nbsp; And considering that I have a champagne taste on a beer budget, I find myself drawn to the VF-AU grades.&nbsp; I thought before that EPQ and PPQ were essentially the same, but now I&#039;m beginning to wonder.&nbsp; Both in my own experience and in auction listings online, I&#039;ve noticed a lot more &quot;head scratchers&quot; in PMG holders, while notes in equivalent PCGS holders seem to be cleaner and more eye appealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I recently searched the Heritage archives for VF $10 gold certificates.&nbsp; A search with the key word &quot;PPQ&quot; yielded only a handful of notes, while &quot;EPQ&quot; showed at least a full page if not more.&nbsp; Some of the EPQ notes were a bit scudzy looking but the PPQ&#039;s seemed nicer overall.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, the published grading standards for PPQ reference eye appeal while EPQ does not.&nbsp; Am I on to something here or is it just my imagination?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
