I just noticed my 1923 $1 note I shipped off for grading was finally updated, it's coming back a 64ppq. I'm thinking The other 2 notes in the series won't be that high of a grade when I finally track them down.  |

Nice, Dave! I wish my $1 1923 (one posted in the original post) had graded UNC, but it's stuck in a AU55 holder for some reason. I've considered getting it regraded because it is easily a gem in my opinion.   |

WheatBack - I wouldn't spend the money. Look at my star on page 1 of this thread - same holder. I was convinced it was Unc and resubmitted but same result.

I would agree with your thoughts on that note wheatback. It definitely looks nicer than the grade it was given. I have 2 or 3 more $1 notes in the safe that are as nice as the one I sent in. I wasn't even planning on getting it graded as they are fairly common and don't really get pricey, but I had a free grading certificate. I was actually very surprised it did grade that as I thought it would have been in the 55 range. It's making me rethink some of the notes I haven't sent in. I guess I'm tougher on grading than I need to be.

With respect, I think it is completely impossible to grade a high-end note from a scan, particularly in a holder. The best you can do is judge the centering, and that's about it.

You are right coinfrog, but seeing many notes over the years you can get an idea of what the note "should" grade around. I think wheatbacks note looks as good as this one (that came in this morning). Like I posted earlier I definitely wouldn't have put this note at a 64.  |

Just curious - tell me why you expected a 55.  |

I went through and looked at my little cheat sheet of notes in the safes and safety deposit box and this isn't the note I thought I had sent in. These have been out since October 1st, I lost track of what I sent. To be honest though the centering is definitely off, and all the corners while square are a bit tattered. I had this one at a 60. I'm tough on my personal grading, I always go conservative.

Okay, I've reset. You thought the note shown would be a 60 with centering definitely off, etc. The front centering may be a bit tight on the bottom but acceptable - would you mind showing the reverse? Also, why spend the dough to grade one of these if you thought it would only make 60? No offense - just asking. |

I had a free grading certificate getting ready to expire. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have sent it in. I used it on some of the "lesser" items I had collecting dust. If it's a good note and not graded I send them off quickly so I don't damage them. The cheaper stuff I save up for a good monthly deal or a free grading with my renewal.

Got it. Thanks. To me (not the case here), it makes no sense to resubmit PM to the top 2 TPG, especially if lower-value. They have the S/N on file, whatever they claim about total neutrality on re-submissions (or even raw). Just my opinion. Edited by Coinfrog

That's a good point about the S/N. Unlike coins, currency has a unique identifier stamped on it. The only way you may be able to sneak one past is to go to a show and pay for the rapid on site grading. Here is the reverse and the rest of the notes that came back today. Like I sad nothing fancy just decent placeholders.   |

For a guy just getting into collecting notes, those are pretty amazing.  |
