No problem. I'd probably list it as NIL-3 (#2) as the $.15 note from this Banking House is listed (1.) before the $.25 note. I've never sent in a note using a designation from Dr. Lee's book but as I mentioned I know PMG uses it for referencing Michigan notes when needed. You can also post this question in the Ask PMG section of the forum just to double check. Good luck with your submission! EDIT to add: I'd also make a notation on the submission form mentioning which reference the designation is from.

Cool note. I don't have the Standard Catalog of United States Obsolete Bank Notes but I can tell you it is NIL-3 in Michigan Obsolete Bank & Scrip Notes by Dr. Wallace G. Lee if that helps. I think PMG would accept that number as an ID if you submitted it but you might want to ask first. I know they use that book for Michigan notes as needed. This is from the PMG website in regards to what references they use. US Obsolete Currency — referenced to Standard Catalog of United States Obsolete Bank Notes 1782-1866 by James Haxby, as well as individual state books by various authors https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/4757/Notes-We-Grade-US-And-World/

Good luck, hope it's a 68! I'd send a few notes in at once, if warranted, this will help keep the overall cost per note down as the shipping, insurance, PMG handling fee, etc. are spread out over all note and not just one. I think U.S. and World notes have to be on separate submission forms as well.

Sorry I should not use the term security strip for that feature, the proper term would be security ribbon. The ribbon is "woven" into the note leaving some of it exposed.

A couple of good reference books to pick up would be Paper Money of the United States 22nd edition and United States Paper Money Errors. The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for foreign notes.

Woah! The $50 is a definite yes for me. That's a beauty! The others I'm on the fence with as they are not what I would consider major errors, that being said I would check out a few auction archives like Heritage or Stack's and see what similar errors, in roughly the same condition have sold for to give you an idea of value.

From a strictly dollars and cents perspective they could be but would need to grade at least 66 EPQ for you to turn a significant enough profit for these to worth sending in, based on what I've seen of sold listings of the same note. It would be a gamble on your part but if they graded in the 67 or 68 range it could pay off. My gut feeling is that these notes are in the 64-66 range, but that is just a guess based on the images above. It's pretty much impossible to accurately grade a note without seeing it in person. To me they are borderline and not worth the risk/trouble, especially since I don't collect them, but we are only talking about probably $25 per note to have them graded. Not a huge gamble necessarily if you wanted to just take a chance.

The serial number adds no value IMO, but the print shift looks interesting. It looks like the security strip shrunk or moved some how but just at the top and bottom, I'm not even sure if that's possible, the central areas seem to line up. I'm wondering if the note hasn't been tampered with in some way, or if this is damage. If a true error it could be worth something. If I have some extra time tomorrow I'll see if I can find something out about this.

Most modern banknotes are released in consecutively number straps, I would assume a strap of 100 for these $1 notes, and because of that consecutive numbers are not at all rare or unusual. To me these being consecutive adds no additional premium but you might find someone who will give a little something, but not much. The same would be true for consecutively numbered, modern, U.S. notes. They seem like nice uncirculated notes and would probably grade as such, but would they grade high enough to offset the cost of grading? These seem border line to me in that regard and I would probably just get a pack of Mylar currency sleeves and keep them in those. There are many reasons to have a note graded that are not necessarily tied to the financial side of things, such as if you collected these and was trying to assemble a registry set, they have some sentimental value, or you just want to have them graded because you like how they look, or just because, etc.. These notes are Bahamas Pick # 35b, over 190 graded by PMG and I would say they would need to grade at least 66 for you to turn a small profit on them.

A new Treasurer was appointed about a month ago, Chief Lynn Malerba, I'm not sure if she is officially on the job yet but notes with new signatures should start being issued in about 8-12 months, I would think. There is always a gap, months/years, before individuals are nominated/appointed and signatures appearing on notes. I think it took about 9 months before Mnuchin/Carranza notes were printed. My guess is that this was low on the list of things to do or has been in the works for sometime and the administration wanted to get the newly established Office of Tribal and Native Affairs off and running first and the appointment to coincide with that. At any rate, notes with the new signatures should be showing up in the very near future.

Very cool. The strap of remainders looks like it is uncut at the bottom, normally the bank would receive uncut sheets and cut the notes out, and sign, as they used them. Any way, to answer your questions, I don't believe that PMG would grade the strap, at least I've never seen them do so, but you could try asking in the ASK PMG section of the forum. PMG would absolutely grade the uncut sheets, as I have seen them do so before. I have seen uncut sheets from this bank graded by PMG. If the pin is sticking up out of the stack it would be a pain to make a custom holder to accommodate it, and very expensive, or if they removed or bent the pin that would cause additional issues. I'd probably just leave those as is. The four subject sheets are probably going to run you around $80 each, the two subject sheets probably around $60 each. I'm not sure what your plans are for these but if these were mine and I was going to keep them I'd probably leave them as is and get some nice sleeves for them.

Nice notes!

Probably a chop mark or someone bored with a stamp. Someone might collect these but I expect not many people can afford to collect $100 bills with little to no value above face. It's interesting, but to me it's a spender. Welcome to the forum.

Well, at least you've maintained you schedule and gotten ahead of the printer cartridge situation. Smooth sailing from here. Possibly, but how many collectors, other than U.S. collectors, want or collect 1oz NCLT? Neither is there a "novelty" factor with this like there is with the P91 that everyone can't seem to throw away money fast enough on. If the RBZ, or whomever is pushing to release a 1oz Au coin, was hoping that this would be a big hit with collectors, then they are as misguided about these coins as they were about issuing new bills. If they had released a 1/10oz coin I MIGHT have thought about picking one up, but not if the design is as boring as it's looking like it will be. Agreed!

Any basic holder will work for a submission, I've read and received raw notes from sellers in page protectors because they couldn't find a holder large enough. Here are some suggestions/instructions from the PMG website on how to package notes. To help ensure that your submissions arrive safely at PMG we recommend that you follow these tips: Do not tape or staple sleeves. Do not bundle and tape notes together. Do not tape notes to cardboard. Make sure notes are secured in either a box or envelope, so that there is no room for them to move around potentially getting damaged. Do not tape submissions to the inside of the box or envelope. Please feel free to use bubble wrap or newspaper to protect notes in their mailing container. Be sure to label sleeves with the submission/invoice number and line item. In addition to knowing your notes will arrive in the same condition as when they left your hands, if you follow these recommendations you can be sure that your notes will be graded and returned without any unexpected delays or fees. Here is a document from PMG as well. https://www.pmgnotes.com/resources/pdf/pmg-how-to-submit-notes.pdf I wish I had read the suggestion of putting your notes in an envelope, I just wrapped (carefully folded) the submission form around the holders for my notes and packed the out of the box with bubble wrap to keep them from moving. Sticking them in an envelope sounds like a better idea. Good luck with your submission.

I believe this is an image of one of the sides of the new gold coin, obv? I think this is probably accurate as all the news articles describe the coin as the Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls). Also, all articles describe the coin as being serialized, so maybe a basic design with fineness and serial number on the other side or maybe on the rim? The design is pretty if the image is accurate.

I looked around for that article I mentioned last night but couldn't find it. It was in one of the magazines I get, I thought World Coin News but I'm not sure. There is a chance that I gave the magazine with the article in it away to a couple of YN's that I pass that type of stuff along too. I'll give it one more go tonight, if not we'll have to wait. I sent one out a month or two ago, it went through NGC and they crushed the Turn Around time, beat it by a mile. The results ended up being maybe the best I've ever had. It was a bunch of modern NCLT, if I knew everything was going to grade that high I probably would have removed some duplicates and added some others. Either way I'm looking at a submission to NGC in the next couple months, after I get my PMG submission back, which should be soon.

Hello and welcome to the forum, It's best to start a new thread with a new topic instead of replying to an existing thread. Anyway, here is where to send them in the U.S. United StatesPMGP.O.

If you call PMG or email them, they'll be able to help you out.

Pfft, nothing to worry about. The one thing I might do is start a completely different Journal if I veer off of Ukrainian notes and tackle other areas, it would make it easier for me to keep everything organized here and easier to follow. Maybe. ColonialCoinsUK & VE Coins have been adding some journal entries recently, I haven't seen any of the others post here in a long time. Over a year probably.

Just noticed this but your 100th Journal entry is about a $100 note/s, how serendipitous. Congrats on 100 Journal entries, gotta be a record.

Yeah, I read about that gold coin somewhere the other week, they had a picture of a coin but it was probably a stock image of some sort of bullion. If I can find the article I'll let you know. I have one piece of Zim bullion, a commemorative token of the opening of the gold refinery. Wonder if they'll rehash this design? Not really but we are talking about Zimbabwe so who knows. I think they pretty much had to release the $50 & $100 notes. They probably had them printed at the same time as the rest of this series and since they were laying around why not release them. There was pretty much zero chance that inflation was going to reduce or stabilize to a manageable range, what a waste. This series is over. In five years they might try again but I doubt it.
