This alleged PMG 67 has
- Not stated Motto/No Motto just 1935G
- No EPQ, I thought all 67s were EPQs
- and No Cert number on the back.
- Is this real and just an artifact of very old holder or is this fake?
Thank you

Why would someone fake that, a note worth less than $100?
Very odd. With no certification number, how are we supposed to verify its authenticity at PMG?
I suppose it's possible that someone erased the cert from the photo using Photoshop, but... why? I would not buy a note without being able to look it up.
I have a Series 1935G $1 Silver Certificate, FR#1617, graded by PMG. The top line of the label reads: "$1 1935G With Motto Silver Certificate". I assume that FR#1616 says "No Motto". Seems unlikely that PMG would leave that off some holders.
Odd for sure. Every genuine PMG Holder has a certification number. In my opinion, if you have to question something then it's not right!

Looks like a legitimate old style PMG holder - when they used to have just a single long alpha-numeric identifier. As i recall
the first seven digits were equivalent to the certification number - but for some reason I can't get PMG website to confirm this for my notes right now. Would check PMG website later but it seems quite usual to me
Can someone show an image of a fake PMG holder? I’ve never seen one in hand or even online and it would be good for a reference.
In particular, one with a US note…
They used to give out sample pmg notes
