Well, that is a banknote backed by gold COIN! So it is sort of On Topic...which is also "OT".

@jmlanzaf I can't argue with that logic!

I tuned in because I thought this was a thread about your dog.

@HeatherBoyd

Do you know how the Currency Grading will work for Coin & Currency Sets? I have several sets in mint sealed boxes that I may want both the coin and the note graded as First Strikes

Any reason you didn't use this form of encapsulation (ensleevulation?) for the recent ASE COAs as a "soft open" for this service?

Great to have another source for "paper" certification. Are you going to release the names of your U.S. experts?

WHAT? It is customary on the forum to argue with @jmlanzaf at every opportunity.

LOL. I'm fairly certain it goes beyond "custom". It appears to be a legal requirement.

You scare me when you start any thread with the word "warning." This one is welcomed news though!

@HeatherBoyd @BrettPCGS - The quoted poster makes a lot of sense. Would it be possible to request our COAs to be encapsulated in these (and opened instead of closed up in a slab obscuring text) instead of the new COA slab?

That would be the sole example of a banknote that I would rather have vs. the gold coin it was supposed to pay out - unless it was an 1849.

That was PGCG currency, this is PCGS Banknote

@HeatherBoyd @PCGSPhoto

Great to hear about this service! Two questions:

1. Will PCGS Banknote have imaging services?
2. Will PCGS Banknote cover Civil War notes like the following? The Press Release says just "United States and world paper money" so I was wondering if these are covered, or if there are plans to cover these?

To keep this on topic, here's a coin

Those old bills are amazing....Good news for currency collectors....Cheers, RickO

cinclodes

Could someone please provide some information on that note? Is the term "mule" used in the same sense as it is used for coins?

Sweet!

Let's get this to cross!

If not being done already...Look for a worst Banknote Registry.

PS I think that note is grossly OVERGRADED!

Will collectors club members be eligible to submit to PCGS Banknote or will that require a separate membership?
