Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
Cointageous asked (after ignoring my questions, which I will answer after I answer his....) "now here's a question for you. do you use paper money records to research a note even though it's in a holder? if so, why?" It seems apparant that you are asking this question where and when you are asking it because you want to… -
Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
I know a little about currency. I own about $200,000 worth (Bison in CGA 68, sold a set of educational notes in CGA 67 for 34K and got my picture in Newsweek, June 17th, 2002, page 60, I offer many 68s and finest knowns) - almost all if it is in my eBay store. I wrote a piece about a Tombstone in CGA 66 finest known -- the… -

Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
CGA is the PCGS of paper probably because they have been around a lot longer than CGC although for durability I like CGC's holders better(Hard plastic like a slab rather than the pliable holders used by CGA). And there is now a third grading firm for paper that just began operations in June. RCGS Rare Currency Grading… -
Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
cga is bad news! in no way should they be exemplified as the pcgs of currency. the pcda has panned currency slabbing and for good reason. there are many cga notes that have been processed into a high grade holder. if you are one of the unfortunate coin people that buys it, i hope for your sake that you resell it to some… -

Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
I am not an expert, but CGA seems to be the leading grader of notes, and it might even be owned by CU. I saw a post on another thread by a collector of US notes saying that professional grading in paper has not really caught on since feel and smell are a real important part of the overall condition. I buy a few notes now… -
U.S. Currency, anyone?
Lately I've been finding myself looking through U.S. currency on eBay. Maybe it's because I just can't seem to find "jack" it term of decent U.S. coins. eBay seems really dead right now. I've never really had much interest in paper, but lately I've been feeling like I need a little, you know, to round out the old… -
Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
adrian, you're rite adrian. anyone thinking of throwing serious money into currency should get the latest copy of gengerke's paper money records. you'll find a number of large size notes with a long history of sales as xf or au that are now in cga 'gem' holders. also, be aware that are still many hi grade large size pieces… -
Re: U.S. Currency, anyone?
CGA is the PCGS of the currency world. I do collect currencyt and have a keen interest for it. I do not own any certified notes. They are very expensive and unless you collect the older series' usually its not worth the $30 in grading fees. I love currency almost as much as coins. good luck
