The ANA show is coming to Chicago soon and I have some banknotes that I thought I would take to NGC to get graded.

What I would like to know from you is should I get them graded or not? Yes, I should post pictures but for now, you will have to take my word on what I have.

1) 1954 Beattie Raminsky $1 with mis-matched serial #'s in AU/UNC condition

2) 2 Consecutive $1 1954 Devil's Hair, actually have a 3rd but it has some slight damage in UNC condition

3) 1870 25 cent with "A" in VG condition

4) 1919 $10 LaBanque Provinciale du Canada in F+ but has frayed corner with small piece missing

5) $2 Devils Hair in AU

6) 1935 $1 French in better than VF condition

Would you have any reservations in getting any of these graded?

Personally, for Canadian notes I would use BCS. They are the leaders in grading Canadian paper money.

I would definately agree with that. BCS is the way to go for Canadian paper money.

I am cheap.
I take the notes to the show and save on the postage.
Plus I hand them to them so I avoid having to send them to Canada where they could get lost or stolen.
Honestly, I would prefer to spend the money that it will take to get them graded on more banknotes but this seals them and gives them a grade that I can live with. Plus they store better at the bank.
But my question to you was - would you get these graded if you owned them?
By the way the 1919 note has a yellow/orange reverse
