Again I have added a missing fractional note to my collection... this one wasn't very expensive but it has pin holes in it... I can aquire a couple of other notes I need (and may not see again this side of the pond) but they too have pin holes, so I have the difficult decision of holding out and letting them go or buying them anyway. I wonder how much a few pinholes hurts the value or an otherwise OK note... there are 7 in this one, ouch. Sellers pictures...   |

Coinfrog: Thanks. I can see a point or even two off for the reverse centering, but I've always thought that teller "handling" issues would primarily affect the paper quality grade. No. I think they judge the paper quality based on how well the printing shows up, especially the colored seals. The handling, in this case, was on two corners where a teller apparently was counting out bills with a pencil eraser or a thumb and put a few creases in it. You almost need a loupe to see them, though. |

Unfortunately, they affect the price quite a lot- a drop of as much as 50%. It's a big penalty, to be sure, but any problem noted on a slab really hurts. If the bill were super-rare, it would fare a little better, maybe a 25% drop. |

I have heard that many things can affect the PQ paper designation, including of course color and embossing, but also light handling issues, counting pinches, evidence of pressing (not ironing) and other factors which, separately or in some combination, can knock a note out of PQ contention even though it grades strictly CU with a numerical designation based primarily on its centering. I believe PCGS will certify a note 65 without a PQ paper designation, but PMG will not.

tech - nice pickups. The Speelman/White $1 SC easily holds the record for the largest print run for a large size note - 2.4 BILLION!

Talk about a hand-cut note!

Actually I have no real affiliation, it's just that I have a son in the army stationed there.
And I used to love watching Ralph Sampson a hundred years or so ago.
