Should I Submit This for a Crossover Grade?
Choppy

All of my national banknotes are graded by PMG and PCGS Banknote except for one lonely example which was graded by the now defunct PCGS Currency.
Would it be worthwhile to submit this to PCGS now as a crossover? Would it help with resale when (someday) my heirs go to dispose of my meager holdings? Do you think that it'd crossover at the same grade?

Do you think that it'd crossover at the same grade? - Yes
looks like ya got a good thing right there, id leave it alone, just me
I do not think that it would be worthwhile. Would probably cross at same grade.
I agree with you.
The buyer will see that this note stands on its own at that grade.
Well, I just came into possession of a $10 FRN in a PCGS Currency holder, and - surprise! - this holder is 1/4" - 3/8" wider than any of the other PCGS Currency, PCGS Banknote, or PMG holders that I own. This one won't fit in any of my album pages. Nuts!
So, I guess there is a good reason to submit at least some PCGS Currency graded notes for crossover.
When did PCGS Currency use these wide holders? I'll be watching for them in the future.
There are different versions of the PCGS Currency holders depending on the timeframe. The first one and last one if I remember correctly were graded when PCGS owned PCGS currency. The middle one is during the period the PCGS Currency brand was licensed to another party. They will all be slightly different sizes.
Thank you! The note that I posted at the top of this discussion is apparently from the 'middle' period shown in your post, and it has a holder size that is consistent with those from PMG and PCGS Banknote.
The note that I just purchased is apparently from the latter period, and its holder is 1/4" - 3/8" wider than the others, for some reason.
So... as best I can determine now... if a photo of a PCGS Currency holder shows very small print above the number for the grade and shows the "Nasdaq" notation, then it is going to be one of the larger size holders.
I'm watching an auction right now with a banknote in a PCGS Currency holder, so I may get to test my theory very soon.
Just to be clear, the order of the notes in the picture is not chronological. They kept showing up in that order and I didnt feel like fixing it.
The top note in my pictures and the bottom note were both graded between 2005 and 2009 when PCGS owned the brand. You can tell notes are from this period because they have the Nasdaq CLCT ticker symbol and state its a division of collectors universe.
The middle note is from the period between 2009 and 2019 when PCGS licensed the brand.
