How many people, I wonder, have a CC limit of over $160,000? You might be surprised. I have 2 business cards with me at all times with no limit. It's not hard to get a no limit card. It's harder to pay it off than it is to get that's for sure. |

It's definitely a self control issue having them on hand coinfrog. I have bought some crazy things on impulse that I wouldn't have otherwise. For example I had a custom collar made for my dog at Tiffany and Co

Well that's an honest reply if I ever heard one. I'll bet you don't live in my neighborhood!  Edited by Coinfrog

Can someone explain something to me:
Is it true that PCGS and PMG are the top currency graders now? I always read that CGA notes are not correctly graded...true or not?

Complicated subject. but the general answer is yes, PCGS and PMG are considered the top graders today, with CGA notes no longer accepted for sale on ebay, for example. CGA basically started the paper money grading business well before the other two got involved, but as time passed, the late-comers developed a reputation for more conservative standards and this has understandably gained a lot of traction. As a very rough generalization, CGA's notes are usually thought to be about a point or so higher than what PCGS or PMG would grade, especially for uncirculated notes where centering is the primary numeric variable. I believe this is basically correct, and as a frequent buyer of CGA notes, it is easy to factor in that discount in your evaluation. What is more subtle is the remarkable values that exist in CGA notes because of their orphan status. Their analysis of paper quality has always been top-drawer, even in the early holders, imo, and especially today with their OPQ designation. If you trust the paper, and adjust for the centering grade, then there are many opportunities. I have cut many CGA notes and resubmitted to PMG with considerable success. |

I was just looking randomly through ebay and found this up for bid by CGA, they are auctioning 5 certs for $65. Very interesting! http://www.ebay.com/itm/22243973806...RK:MEBIDX:IT |

To clarify, CGA notes can still be listed on ebay, but the numerical grade cannot be shown. Notwithstanding, I do occasionally see one get through. |
