<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2352928, member: 69760&quot;]Why is centering so important for paper notes? Is it because it&#039;s rarer to see a paper note that has perfect centering, since the notes are created in sheets and cut <i>after</i> the design is added? (Whereas with coins, the designs are imparted after the planchets are already individualized, so off-center strikes would be a much rarer occurence). That&#039;s what I&#039;m thinking <i>logically</i>. But, what&#039;s the <i>actual</i> reason?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, are there any picture guides of various centering grades (e.g. above average, average, below average, etc.)? I know that the top TPGs look for and require perfect or near perfect centering for notes to even get in the 65+ range, let alone an EPQ/PPQ designation. But, if I ever come across, say, a note that is so off-center that part of the design is missing altogether (cut-off), then isn&#039;t that technically off-centered and even more desirable than a perfectly centered note of the same type and grade? Unless, of course, such cut-off designs would designate that note as an error<i> on top of</i> it being a well below off-centered note.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
