  1. Yes, they do. I don't know that it's worth having them graded though, I don't think you'd recoup the cost of grading if you ever sold. Especially if they didn't grade 70, which is all that I see available on ebay. I have several Utah goldbacks, they are nice pieces and enjoy them, but I wouldn't have them graded. Is there a registry set for them?
  2. If you're talking about the line running vertically through the portrait of Jackson it is ink from a teller/bank stamp. It's not an error.
  3. +47 = 5,845 Interesting, someone submitted coupons, 1 each, from the 1918 bond notes. I had hoped to one day get P#'s (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) assigned to each of the eight coupons on the four different bond types, as they all have different maturity dates, but now that some have been submitted that dream is probably dead. It probably had a very low chance of success anyway.
  4. Won this at one of the online ANA auctions, if your a member you get 20% off if you win.
  5. Hmm, definitely sounds like they were cut from a sheet, and poorly at that. Uncut sheets were sold by the B.E.P. to collectors, cutting notes from sheets like this further decreases their value. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to make a few "error" notes from the sheet either.
  6. Fr 1935-D* is the Friedberg catalog number. The note looks weird, was it cut from a sheet? Based on the availability and condition of this note it does not warrant grading.
  7. Ah, a Disney recreation coupon. Seems like these sell for around $70 raw on ebay, PMG graded 65EPQ examples seem to be fetching around $170, they are probably worth having graded if they are in as good of condition as you say. PMG does have bulk discounts, 50 note minimum, and there is no added value for the notes being consecutive.
  8. I'm sure that they'll remove the unissued notes, that's been my experience at any rate. I don't like the removal of unissued notes unless PMG was to create a different set that included them, which they won't. Some unissued notes are readily available and in many people's collections some are not, or are only available as specimens, etc.. My vote would be to include unissued notes in the set registries but give them a 0 points value.
  9. This shouldn't details grade but it will receive a mention on the holder of "annotations" and probably won't get EPQ. Both of which will decrease the value, by how much it's hard to say but based on what I can see of the condition of the note in the image you posted probably not too much as it appears to be heavily circulated. I'm assuming that this is one of the duplicated S# notes and that you have the match to it? That adds another layer but I would start with what is the overall condition of the note, forget about the annotation and mark for now, the note in the pictures seems to be in VF 35 range and I don't think the marks devalue it too much more because the overall condition is not great. Certainly not 50-75% in my mind.
  10. +41 = 5,706 2 Hryven +3 5 Hryven +4 20 Hryven +7 50 Hryven +4 100 Hryven +3 200 Hryven +1 1000 Hryven +5 100 Karbovantsiv +2 200 Karbowanez +2 500 Karbowanez +1 50 Shahiv +2 10 Shahiv +2 20 Shahiv +2 30 Shahiv +4 40 Shahiv +2 Interesting that some postage-stamp notes were submitted. Some additional corrections must have been made during the week by PMG, that's why the notes don't add up to 41.
  11. The best way to determine value is by checking recent auction records, Heritage, Stack's Bowers, Ebay, to name a few. I don't use the PMG price guide at all when determining FMV, but it can be used as a very general reference.
  12. PP and OPP should be fine for the short term but Mylar (BoPET) sleeves are far superior to any PP or OPP that you can buy. I use Mylar sleeves.
  13. +105 = 5,665 5 Chervontsiv +1 2 Hryven +3 5 Hryven +3 10 Hryven +5 20 Hryven +19 50 Hryven +12 100 Hryven +8 200 Hryven +9 500 Hryven +12 1000 Hryven +5 2000 Hryven +4 25 Karbovantsiv +1 100 Karbovantsiv +4 250 Karbovantsiv +1 1000 Karbovantsiv +4 50 Karbowanez +1 200 Karbowanez +2 500 Karbowanez +9 20,000 Karbovantsiv +1 50,000 Karbovantsiv +1
  14. If you send it in PMG will look at it. It will come back as a non error, with a notation of "teller stamp", seems like a terrible waste of money to me. Things to think about, the teller's stamp is interrupted, in a straight vertical line where a strap would be, with the lower portion of LOOMIS missing. The teller's stamp is obviously over the underprinting and appears to be over the second printing as well, meaning the stamp would had to been applied prior to the torch being printed. How would a LOOMIS stamp be applied between printings?
  15. That's just a generic link to ebay that automatically pops up but here is a LINK to the note. Actually, if you just type in PMG SAMPLE several different PMG sample notes pop up.
  16. Looks like a Loomis stamp. Someone was a little sloppy when they stamped the strap and got most of it on the note. The black is faded on the red torch because it didn't adhere to it well or faded, I think. Doesn't seem like an error to me.
