I have some money with PMG that needs to be used so I'm sending this in for grading just wondering if there is enough issue with the being able to see the serial numbers on the reverse along with the seals to be an error or to just send it in as a regular note both seals and serial numbers can be seen from the reverse

I understand these are in circulated condition but I was wondering if the Rarity offset that for grading I have some money with PMG that is going to expire next month

Did I not ask the question properly? Or am I incorrect on how the 3 legged buffalo came to be.. The coins with no FG are no longer recognized correct?

So if they're not recognizing the no FG coins due to over polishing does that also go for the three legged Buffalo nickel?

Thank you don't know how I miss that
lettering on the reverse. Doesn't seem to be die deterioration because the edges seem to be Sharp. And the tops of the devices are very flat.

I'm not understanding I guess I've sent some coins in myself to get graded (two of them came back with the grade I wanted one of them was two points shy), but that's not what this is about.
What is the actual point of getting coins graded except for authenticity when a lot of times unless you're selling to somebody that's trying to fill a hole the value doesn't really change a whole lot.
And when sending coins in to get graded you're relying on one specific person to grade the coin to his understanding of the scale which opens doors for all kinds of things because it's essentially just going off their opinion so one Grading Company could grade one coin multiple different ways depending on the kind of day a person is having or who exactly is grading the coin...
I mean I would think that if you're a error type of collector that you would know if somebody is posting a coin that isn't up to Snuff.. ( now that I think about it though I guess that would be a time to get one graded due to fakes.)
So let me ask this question a different way I have already set myself a level to be at to get a coin graded and that is $100 over grading cost. But I guess what kind of coins should be graded and which one should be left Raw even if the value is unlimited?

Market value of coins certified or raw why wouldn't we go off of the average of the most recent sales within say 5 years to find market value...?
How often is gray sheet updated?
Where does gray sheet get their values from?
How can a person go off of eBay sold items for any coin that's worth a substantial amount, substantial to me is $800 to 1,000 or more because it seems to me that if you have a coin of that value you would be looking at an auction house and not eBay. I think people are wanting others to use eBay sold items so they can obtain the coins that they want on a cheaper level and then take them to Heritage or add them to their collection. Because I go to eBay sold lists and look at values and then I turn around and see an auction for 20 30 40% more.
If I recall maybe a year ago maybe a little more coins were going for records amounts so just like the stock market why doesn't it the value go up why do you rely on eBay sold listings it doesn't make sense to me an item is worth what somebody will pay for it and going off of an average of sale of documented sales for the past 5 years like PCGS does is the most reliable way they do include some eBay sold listings also...

(This is not my coin) I am very confused on how this would be PMD or coin roll machine.
There are no indications of anything coming into contact with it and the bottom of the L is completely missing. It seems to be part of the vertical part of the L is missing also with no abrasions dents or dings. How does something hit it hard enough to reshape it without leaving any marks?

How is it that consecutive notes would have a plate number that is skipped for instance the back plate serial number of these notes is 23 and 25 skipping 24.
