Can't tell a 100% but it appears the smudging is on the bill?

    The note looks 100% original...



    The 1976 series had the smearing / transfer a lot more normally than the newer printed notes and I think it would technically fall within the 64ppq grade BUT that is much more significant than I would be willing to pay 64ppq money for...

    I doubt that was done during the printing the process and I would not want to buy it as a PPQ. Too much of a distraction to be PPQ in my opinion.

    That almost looks like an error note with ink smear.

    Just another example of PCGS Currency not knowing what it is doing.

    From what I've been able to discern PPQ depends on embossing and paper composition.

    +1,
    I would have expected an error or Apparent, but I don't claim to know it all and base things on my experience.

    So post other examples instead of just making a snarky comment. PCGS is one of the top 2 currency grading services for a reason and it's not from "not knowing what it is doing".
    Come and see a forgotten piece of history.....

    I have this note, not only did it not get PPQ, received a 63.

    I thought it was an "AS MADE" blob, and should have been higher, even PPQ.

    PCGS is the one company who absolutely knows what they are doing and they are the best at what they do. I know from years of submitting and thousands of notes. Maybe they had a reason for awarding PPQ. Maybe it was an oversight. That note was graded 7-10 years ago. Mistakes can happen every now and again to anyone.
