Greetings all, could anyone please tell me what I can do to correct an error made by PMG describing a note.

I have a Philippine 2008 20 Piso signed Arroyo - Tetangco Specimen note with no overprint. This note is unlisted in pick (25th Edition),

PMG described it as p182s1, an undated note, signed by Ramos - Singson (this has a black Overprint)/

What should I do?

When a note has incorrect information on the label it is called a "Mechanical Error" by PMG. You should email PMG, service@pmgnotes.com, explain the situation and provide the cert # and some images. PMG will send you a shipping label and re-holder the note at no charge with correct label if they determine that it is in fact a Mechanical Error. 

Can you post a picture of it?

I got a 2013 circulated binary 1 dollar bill in change this week. The note containes only 1's and 0's is it worth sending it in to get graded?

Nice find! A true binary!

The note is not worth having graded as the condition is too poor, condition is still the major factor in value despite the note having a fancy S#. It's definitely a keeper and worth a small premium above face, I'd say in the $10-$20 range.

I have been trying to find information about this Algerian Note from 1921.  It certainly matches up with with P#81, but I don't see the date 14-10-1921 anywhere.  I see 3-1-1921 and 22-9-1921 under P#81a...what am I missing?

The note is indeed P81a, the date that is on the note is not particularly import as there will be many different dates, the signatures are what differentiate the pick numbers not the dates. Also from what I'm seeing the SCWPM is missing several signature varieties but not yours. I'd ballpark the grade at an 8 - 10.

Is there a database to show the totals of graded notes from specific cities, ect.

Not that I'm aware of. The SPMC keeps a database of NB's but I don't think they keep track of if a note is graded.

Does it include  a modern Specimen and Proof notes ?

Yes, I believe it does. They treat them the same as an issued note when submitting and I believe it's ok to have a mix of specimens, proofs, and issued notes.

You can post this question in the Ask PMG section of the forum as well or email service@pmgnotes.com

What are those? Are they considered paper money? Are they rare? Are they considered essays? 
I am attaching an example.

From PMG: "Archival Photographs – These were taken during the development of a design to document each stage of the process. In most cases, the final design reached at the end of the process would be used for notes issued for circulation. These photographs can include engraved and/or hand-drawn sections as well as attached parts of the design (such as serial numbers and signatures) that make up the proposed design. Many of the stages shown in Archival Photographs will resemble, but not exactly match, a Pick number. These black-and-white photographs show only the front or back of the note. They were typically mounted on card stock for storage in the archives of various printing operations. "Archival Photographs" are not to be confused with bromide prints/images that we do not grade."

They are rare, possibly unique, and price is driven by the popularity of the series in general. 

I just picked up the middle note and it fits in with this group of notes, Pick #5a, in displaying the printing progression. First note missing second printing, second note missing third printing, third note complete. Now if I can only find a blank back note, or even a uniface specimen of the back, I would have a complete set of progressive printing notes. I'll probably look around for a complete AKII 207 block note as well to better match up with the missing print error notes.

Again,thanks for your insight! I thought I was struck by lightning while hitting the lottery! I will probably do the eBay thing and hope for the best! 

Good luck!

⁸Thanks for your input,I appreciate it! I wanted to add that it's the third lowest run of star notes at 80k too. There are only 25k and 32k that are lower.

That is a small run but I was easily able to find notes from that run in similar condition, in the price range mentioned. Condition is big factor.

The shifting of the 66s isn't enough to make note of ?

No, not even close. Well within BEP tolerance. 

On 1/3/2024 at 7:26 AM, David lonchar said:

I have a chart that shows 2 digits to be worth 80 to 1000,and that doesn't include the fact that it's a star.

Depending on the type of note, number, condition, etc., it's possible for a two digit serial number note to hit 1k but the note in the OP isn't one of those notes. I'd still estimate $50-$100, possibly a little more, but who knows what could happen at auction.

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if anybody could tell me a bit more about this banknote and how much it is worth.

 

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum,

It's a 100 Lire banknote issued by the Allied Forces during the invasion of Italy, the note was printed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. They are not particularly valuable, looks like they are selling for a few dollars each in that condition on ebay.

I have this star note ,the third lowest run for stars. It’s 00000066 which is also binary. Anyone have any idea what it’s worth? I appreciate any feedback,thanks 

Neat find. 

It's in circulated condition and if I go online I can find series 2013, L block, star notes fairly easily and in the similar condition people are asking around $5. The serial number does add some value to the note on top of that, it's not a true binary note which would have a serial number consisting of only 0's and 1's but is binary in the sense that it has only two types of numerals in the serial number, the real value is that the serial number is pretty low and 66 seams to be a more popular number. Hard to say what it might go for in an auction, maybe between $50 - $100. Put it in an auction on ebay and start the bidding at 1¢, see where it ends.

It’s a gas pump too,the 6s are higher than the 0s

It's not a gas pump, not close really. For a "gas pump" note to have any value there needs to be more of a difference in the digits, typically collectors want to see part of the digit missing before they'll pay a premium.

Yes I can do post it in a little bit. The center one is uncirculated. I also have some other bills on hand as well. 

Those notes are pretty roached, not much value there above face. 

Don't know much about this bill but the last two that sold at auction on ebay went for under $80 each, this note is in much better condition than those so I'd estimate the value at around $150.  The 4 over the 2 and being printed on the back of another note or used sheet is normal.

I have a couple of old bills that are not signed or not dated or both.  How do I submit them and does this increase or decrease the value.  I have attached pictures of them for your perusing lol.

Notes that were not issued (not signed, dated or missing the serial number) are called remainders. Because they were not issued they are found in generally better condition than issued notes but are typically less desirable, valuable, because they are missing the sigs, date, etc.. I'd have to research the others but I see Bank of Washtenaw notes a lot and I'd value a $1 remainder in that condition at around $20-$40, the $3 would go a little higher probably $40-$60. Long story short, there is nothing unusual about these missing the sigs and they are not worth the cost of grading.

I’m new here and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on silver notes. 

Welcome to the forum.

Recommendations as to what? In general silver certificates such as the ones you posted have little value over face unless they are in pristine condition, there are a few exceptions but it doesn't look like any of the notes posted are unique in any way although the center $1 looks pretty nice. There is a $10 mule, if you can post the back of the note I can take a look. You might be able to get $2 each for the ones, a little more for notes in similar condition to the center note, and $20-$40 for the ten.
