west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 11/29/2013 8:44 pm AZTAMT , nice collection, the notgeld are always interesting and not too expensive to collect. CB , nice eye appeal , nicely centered , sharp corners, do you know why it didn't grade higher ? Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 11/29/2013 8:56 pm There are a few demerits keeping it from Choice Unc. For example, you can see a couple of flicks along the top border (They are more prominent on the back). My '37 $2 on the other hand, I think should be Unc-60.

trimble Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 3:11 pm There is a huge difference using PMG vs. BCS. Last year I sent a $1000 bird note to BCS expecting to get at least choice but it came back AU58, like your $2. I had a few chartered notes going to PMG so I cut the BCS holder and submitted it to PMG. It came back Gem 66, don't think PMG cares about flick marks on the corners :). I recently cut out 7 BCS notes in grades of AU50, AU58 and UNC60, all 1937 issue and sent them to CCCS. I don't have the results yet but am curious to see if they grade similarly.

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 3:19 pm I personally stay away from PMG for that reason. They don't grade Canadian notes using Canadian standards. I would be curious to see the CCCS results though. Report this Post to the Staff
trimble Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 3:31 pm I should be getting them back soon, I'll post the results...I kept the BCS tops I cut off to compare. I just looked at the BCS tops again, apparently I sent in 4 1937 and 3 1954s + a handful of chartered notes. Great memory, kind of short though! Report this Post to the Staff
trimble Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 4:04 pm As talked about quite a bit on this forum, there is a huge difference in grading between companies (and sometimes within the same grading company ). Anyway, here are 7 formally BCS graded notes that I sent in to CCCS. They were marked as original for all except the QE2 $100 note, suggesting that this note was pressed, maybe this is what stopped it from going UNC when BCS graded it. If I was trying to buy some of these notes for my collection, according to the CCCS grades, they would now cost me more, except for the George $5 note. The $1000 that BCS graded AU50 was (and maybe still is :) on its last legs as I have two and was thinking if it didn't make UNC I was going to spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 5:05 pm Those are some remarkable differences in grades....All nice bills though. I presume the CCCS holder is similar to the BCS holder? or not? It's difficult to see if the bill is in an insert or not. Report this Post to the Staff
arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 5:38 pm Thank you trimble ! You have nice bank notes anyway Now, you just have to sent the $5 banknote back to BCS Edited by arianzo 12/26/2013 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
trimble Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 7:07 pm Hi tripoli CCCS holders are not very rigid and don't use inserts. Pics aren't the greatest, was just trying to show the grading info mostly. :) I thought the KG$5 note was going to come back UNC, lol. Maybe I should send it off to PMG next!

trimble Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 11:58 pm Your welcome! I really should build a light box so I can learn a bit more about grading notes. I have quite a few BCS UNC graded notes in the multi-coloured and bird series and suspect PMG would turn choice into gem and CCCS might give a few points in our favour. More testing required for circulated notes. Buyer beware I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
