upc239 Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 4:42 pm Hi, I'm wondering why this would have been graded a GEM 65 with the cuts being uneven? What am I missing? CERT# DD001 Edited by upc239 07/14/2020 5:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 6:28 pm I am not a banknote collector, but you have to remember that 65 is not the perfect grade... to me, this is like a MS-65 coin, with a slightly mis-aligned reverse die, but still within mint tolerances...

walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2578 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 9:00 pm Just eyeballing it from your scan/photo the front design does appear very slightly shifted to the right (left vertical border looks a little wider than the right vertical border). It would be interesting to see the back (maybe perfect?) UNC 65 does seem generous coming from BCS but as "SP-Ottawa" points out there's still 5 points to go (to perfection). I've got several BCS banknotes & only a handful are at the Gem 65/66 level (as he's usually pretty conservative in giving out points). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Edited by walk2dwater 07/14/2020 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
