ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 09:42 am That's an interesting letter from PMG, Steve. It's worth $10 to have the PPQ or EPQ on the holder. It does bring more when selling. Only, one would still have to pay for joining the TPG club, postage and insurance both ways, and handling fees. I'm not sure I see the connection between what is supposed to be superior paper and the grade. Couldn't an uncentered bill have great paper or a perfectly centered, new bill have subpar paper? Not even sure it's a real issue. Would the paper company that supplies the govt presses agree that on some days their paper quality is better than other days? Report this Post to the Staff

Does it now have pinholes, stains, tears or splits. Does the original paper wave still exist on older notes, and the embossing. Is the ink still bold and vibrant. Does the note have good eye appeal . EPQ, PPQ, SPQ, and OPQ are saying the note is problem free and unmolested after leaving the BEP. Back in the day, dealers and collectors wanting to improve the eye appeal and grade of a note would wash stains/dirt and press folds out of notes. Even the BEP washed notes.

Washing, or even just pressing, usually removes the raised embossing "blush" and disqualifies a note from a PQ paper designation. It doesn't take long to recognize the difference.
