Guide To Submitting Currency For Grading

I agree with most, if not all of the information included in this thread.....great job guys. Most of my collection 75-80% is raw, with the remainder being in TPG holders. Primarily PMG,PCGS,CGA, and most recently Superior.

Superior is, in my opinion, a great alternative if you want authentication, protection, and accurate grading. Greg Davis and his staff do a great job.

Steve - point well taken and a super note, bet without checking that it's a tough bank.

to the CCF, and especially the Paper Money Forum.

@tbolts10, I sent Greg an email. Are you also known as Tyler ?

I've submitted to both PMG and PCGS-C, the one thing I will note about PCGS-C is that they actually have very few graders dedicated to world currency, so if your submitting world notes on a level that does not have a stated turnaround time, I've found it can literally take months for your notes to get graded.

First - I apologize for reviving a relatively old thread, but my question goes straight to the title of the thread -submitting notes to grade.

So the thread talks about what notes to submit - and what to look for. However, as someone that has never submitted paper to a TPG - How do you ship it, is there a form and specific packaging they require? To be more clear -I looked on PMG for instructions of how to ship it and I did not find any - and I could have very easily overlooked the link. The coin TPG's have very specific instructions about how they receive the coins.

Anyone have steps for that?

Thank you Steve ... as I said I must have missed it. I was all over the site and apparently was not paying enough attention to get there. I appreciate the reply.

For world notes PCGS Currency is much worse, I had a submission of 15 world notes take over 6 months to get graded!
