May be a tougher block (EK Star).  Here's one that sold as a lot of two with another start note for $59.  Face value is $40 and the notes were Crisp Uncirculated. https://currency.ha.com/itm/federal-reserve-notes/fr-2090-k-l-20-2004-federal-reserve-notes-choice-crisp-uncirculated/a/141913-84399.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

I have a 1914 5 dollar bill cleveland district graded pmg 65epq. There seems to be a ripple across the top of the bill. The seller from ebay says this is a natural paper weave and is something collectors want. My other bills in my collection don't have that. Can anyone help me please and tell me if this is natural or a problem in the value?

What's the PMG number?  I can look on PMGNotes under verify to find it and get a pic with great resolution that way.  Or just post it to a set and let me know to look for it.  Those FRNs are beautiful!

Looks like you've done some research on the note, I'm not convinced it's worth grading, that is if you were going to try and sell it for a profit. If you're planning on keeping it, that's a different story. A star note is good, a slight misalignment is also good but I'm not sure you'd get your money back. It'll be close. If there is some of the next note printed on it then it's a different story.

Looks like you would have to select the Economy Special tier when submitting. If you haven't already, I'd read this https://www.pmgnotes.com/services/Submitting.aspx and this https://www.pmgnotes.com/submit/services-fees/pmg/  to get an idea. You can also try posting in the Ask PMG section or give them a call for assistance.

I'd love to see some of your other error bills. 

Good Luck,

I agree with FM unless I'm missing something about the EK* block.  I even checked to make sure the stars were pointy end up.  Looks like a VF at best with ink at top.  

I collect mainly US Nationals, but no hundreds to date.  I also collect US Type and fancy SNs and Canadian notes.

Why don't you blog about something that interests you?  I occasionally write in my journal here pretty much exclusively about national bank notes.  We have Zimbabwe very well covered with Revenant and Ukraine with Fentucky Mike. What do you collect??

My Kelly, 6th Ed. has a population of 12 Small and he listed $1000 for a note in VF, so that offer was in the ball park. Only 96 sheets of ty 1 $20s were issued (6 notes per sheet).  A different database (T&P) would have the current population broken down by denomination and type 1 or 2.  I have a note on the Citizens NB of Albion, NY; I paid $625 for a Ty. 1 $10 in VF+; it's now in a PMG 30 holder.  Neat town name and a pop of only 5 small (in Kelly), but New York is a common state. It's in this set:  

It's a pain to get them graded.  Easier if you have a dealer close by that does a lot of business with PMG and would have it graded for you.  Economy tier is up to $1000 value, so you probably have to use the Standard tier which is up to $3000.  Cost is $25 vs. $45 and oh by the way, each submission has an additional $10 handling charge so you try to submit a bunch of notes at once to average out the shipping and handling fees.  I have 2 notes to submit using this tier and am waiting for next year's membership dues for a statement credit towards grading.

I'm guessing the FNB of Reserve was the best note from your father, but given the value, make sure there's nothing special about the other notes like a radar serial number.  I do believe your note was printed by the GPO, but given its rarity, I don't think it would add much to the value.

That note is hard to find as I can find no recorded sales on Heritage Auction's archives.  I don't have my Kelly reference handy, but will check next week for population.  Someone else may have population from Track and Price (T&P).  Those are rather large signatures from the logo type which may mean it's an early production from the Government Printing Office (most notes were made by a contractor, BBS, and typically have smaller signatures (and a few other diagnostics for the logo type)).  The logo type is the bank info including charter number and signatures.  The town name is neat which adds to the appeal and Montana notes tend to have a premium.  I'd grade it as a VF or VF+.  Where did you find this note??  PROTECT THIS NOTE--DO NOT TRY TO IMPROVE IT IN ANY WAY as you will just damage it.  Hopefully you know that already.  Thanks for posting.

posting another example.. anyone interested?

Just 4 off from a radar.  I'd bid it up to about $10 if it were at auction.  Nice they gave it a grade.

I'll redouble my efforts :-)  What happens with 5 likes?  Do you get a badge?  Like a steamin' pile o' sheckels?  

Anybody know how many PMG note holder types that PMG has used in the past 15 years?  I just know of 2--the current holder and the one before that one.

I won a sample note from PMG back when they ran a trivia contest for members (yes, those were the good 'ole days).  It was a Malaysia, Bank Negara Pick #51 1 Ringgit ND (2012) PMG Unc Sample PMG Collectors Society Trivia Contest SN AG6140428 PMG 1528092-028 Sign. Z.A. Aziz, - Polymer Note

I don't have a pic to post (Sorry), but it's at least one generation removed from the current PMG holder.  It is the only sample holder in my collection.  If there's a massive groundswell of demand (i.e. 5 likes on this post ought to represent a groundswell around here), I'll dig it out and post a pic.

Hello, DDR.

We appreciate your interest and support of PMG and the PMG Registry. Our senior team has determined the set types you suggest are more suitable for Custom PMG Registry sets. Thank you and please let us know when we may assist in the future. 

Ok, thanks Ali.  Anything the senior team comes up with for Nationals would be appreciated; I've seen no additions in years.  

Hi Ali, I'd like to see competitive Large size nationals sets by Fr. # for Series 1902 red seals, date backs and plain backs. A second set would be series 1882 Nat'ls and I would include Brown Backs, Date Backs and Value backs.  For series 1902, see my signature set here:  

I think series 1902 by Block letters would be quite useful as one would know about when the note was produced.  See my signature set here:  

Any other sets using the data you have on nationals would be appreciated.  Like sets by states.  I'd volunteer to set up charter numbers by state and county if it would result in a competitive sets.  

Alain, the 1500 should not affect the grade much, but will very likely get an "annotation" comment on the back.  It would be great to see a picture of the note.
