Hmmm, I stand corrected Ceylon. I copied and pasted the following from the CGA website, and misinterpreted it.

"CGA is the ONLY paper money grading service to never have certified a copy, counterfeit, fake or replica of any kind."

I have seen a counterfeit Confederate note go into a PCGS holder (very recently) and have seen several misidentified U.S. notes in holders but I don't recall the company (s).

I suppose it is inevitable. If you own an airline sooner or later a plane is going to crash, own a canning company sooner or later someone will find a 12 inch black hair in their soup (like I did a few days ago... gross), have a landscaping business sooner or later Mrs. Smith's prize petunias are going to accidentally be mulched.

So why not this. My employees are always trying to catch me in a mistake and once in a great while they do. I tell them I'm not perfect, I just make fewer mistakes than the average person.

Found another one today:


PCGS-Grading-Acurracy

The 1702* is the blue seal version. This is a 2309* North Africa note.

I have heard of situations where the "submitter" makes an error on the "submission form" which then gets carried onto the holder.

Still, if you are a professional operation you should catch that.
