Can someone point me in the direction of what the suffix means behind some of the catalog numbers PMG has on their site? 
For instance: what do the following suffixes mean:

”s”

”bpe”

“SOI”

I’m sure there’s others. I can’t find an answer anywhere. 
 

TIA

s = specimen, usually

bpe = back plate error, I believe

SOI = Super Orlof Intaglio, a printing press

There is no "legend key" that I know of to decipher these but it's easy enough to go to a site like Heritage Auctions and type in the Fr. 1908 and browse through to try and find a match for Fr. 1908-Hbpe, for example, and read the descriptions. The reference Paper Money of the United States should also have the corresponding Fr. # and probably a short description of what they mean.

The big head $100 is Fr 2178-A, the series 2013 * is Fr 2188-B*, neither are worth submitting IMO. The fractional is Fr 1265 and is probably not worth the cost of sending in either. It depends on why you want to submit them, if it's just "because" or for whatever reason, and you don't care about recouping the cost then cool, if to increase their value above and beyond the grading fees then probably not so much. 

Paper Money of the United States covers most if not all U.S. notes issued by the government, if you were going to purchase a reference for U.S. currency I'd start with that. 

Welcome to the Forum,

For U.S. notes PMG would want the Friedberg # (Fr.) found in the reference Paper Money of the United States, for world notes the Pick # found in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. If you don't have either reference you can usually find the #'s on the labels of notes graded by a TPG. The # you write down doesn't necessarily have to be correct, as they usually accept something "in the neighborhood" but it shouldn't be to hard to find the correct #'s. If you post picks, front and back, of the notes I could take a look when I have time.

Good luck.

Hey FenntuckyMike,

Just wondering if yiu or anyone else have these sort of changeovers/turnover, in their collections?  I have yet to see any o t these that I purchased and Now I am taken by these turnovers the focus of my collecting now.

Later,manofwr1

I don't have any "changeover" notes in my collection, not something I really pay attention to but they are definitely neat. It seems several people collect these based on what I've seen over the years. There are a lot of different types of "changeover" notes, some rare some fairly common. Those would look really good in the PMG two note holder, or displayed together.

Nice! I like those matching fancy serial number notes, one being a replacement is sweet.

This is a french allied military 10 franc note.  But the lilac was never printed.   

Interesting note, if I get some time this weekend I'll see what I can dig up on it.

Where would be the best place to market this bill?  Uncirculated.  Estimated value?

Many sell on Ebay, but is there somewhere better for higher end stuff?

Thanks!

Fantastic note!

You can try selling on ebay, I see some high $$$ notes being sold on there but I would want to have a real good idea of what kind of $ this note would typically sell for and I'd probably but a Buy It Now price on it that would take the fees into consideration, I don't think I'd auction it on ebay unless I put a reserve on it. Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers would probably be you best options if consigning to an auction house, and your best bet for top $.

Repeater.

This one cracks me up, it looks like a Star Trek episode with the Gods looking at a telephone on their monitor.  The smaller oval vignettes, surrounding the main, are lovely as well. 

Dimensions?

An archival box is what I use for the really big stuff. 

Philippines, 2022, 1000 Piso P #230a

A recent addition, this Philippines note was awarded Bank Note of the Year by the IBNS in 2022. A fantastic polymer note well deserving of the award, it received a first place vote on my ballot.

While I understand what you are saying about the fact the charts, 32 impression specifically do show how and even someone with close s n, but I for one get a it more curious when one does include the sequential numbering?

That is how the serial numbers are applied, sequentially in each plate position. The below explains it better than I can, also why notes are always sequential in new straps from the BEP. http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/number.html

As my OCD takes me down this road regarding the, (The Mysterious "o"'s) as the "Plate Position Mark", mine are on silver certificates, 1935 U-I block and are consecutively numbered.

Thank you for posting pics of the notes, those are some beauties. There is nothing mysterious about those notes having an "O" plate position as they are all Series 1935F, Series 1935F, G, & H do go up to pp "O". This was due to a change at the BEP when they switched from 12 to 18 subject sheets. Below is a chart of the plate positions for specific subject sheets. See http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/note.html

Thanks for any time and thoughts on the subject,

I don't remember you ever posting a pic of this note, I'd be interested to see it if you get the opportunity.

Last Paragraph, page 83, "The excellent relations between BEP and Collectors have continued and expanded since then.  Perhaps the ultimate gesture of good faith has been the printing of "error"notes, star notes ordinarily made to replace to replace defective notes, but now made in limited printing for sale at a premium to numismatists.  These products have been widely appreciated and typically the sale of limited edition products, including unusual serial numbers, star notes and the like is a quick sell out."

The BEP has been printing "commemorative" notes to sell for a long time, star notes, special serial numbers, fancy serial numbers etc.. nothing new about it. Was it a new occurrence when QDB wrote the book? I assume so. Some individual's did make some good scores on early BEP commemoratives, anything now is typically in too large of quantity to be of any future value beyond what the initial sell price was. 

Welcome to the forum.

You can post banknotes for sale here: https://boards.pmgnotes.com/forum/13-note-marketplace/ Coins here: https://boards.ngccoin.com/forum/13-coin-marketplace/

Or you can list items on ebay or any number of selling platforms on the internet, but you'll need better pictures than that if you hope to sell anything.

Hello 

Can you please add new slot for Canada 1935 to date category.

These 4 slot are missing

Thanks.

Try emailing registry@pmgnotes.com, someone will get back to you. It's faster to email and I think that PMG prefers you email them anyway. Good Luck.

Thanks very much and if I may bother you further ; should they go in one holder or 5 individual holders?  This will be my first submission so I am a blank slate.

Individual sleeves. Below is link to an article on how PMG recommends your notes be packaged. 

https://www.pmgnotes.com/resources/pdf/pmg-how-to-submit-notes.pdf

$1 Silver Certificates correct?

Series '35E notes were printed prior to PMG's cutoff for Modern notes so they would have to be sent in under the Economy tier or higher. Series '35F and later would have be eligible for the Modern tier. 

You don't have to do anything additional for consecutive notes.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the feedback.  That was more than I expected.  The paper is very soft and pliable.  How would someone keep the fibers from breaking down more.  Is that anything you know of that could help preserve it better? (Outside of a nitrogen environment.)

 

GB, Chris

I would just keep it in the sleeve and store it in a cool, dry, dark environment. It should stay stable and last many, many years. We'll both be long gone before anyone will need to worry about saving this note.

Looks like a Fr 299a to me and in that condition it's probably worth around $200, maybe a little more. I'd leave it just the way it is. In a one on one transaction it's probably not worth having graded, if you were going to send it to an auction house they can make that call and get it graded for you.
