Variation in holder color

2 posts in this topic

I've noticed that while most PMG currency holders are colorless, some appear to have a very slight (somewhat blue) tint. Is this just variation in the holder material, or can it mean something (i.e., a reholder or possibly counterfeit certification)? I've attached a 600-dpi composite image of two similar notes of comparable grade that were scanned in using the same scanner. I realize that scanned images can have a color shift, but the tint is definitely visible to the naked eye.

Thanks.

Good afternoon.  Thank you for your question.  Yes, prior to early 2016, the holders we used to encapsulate notes did have a slight bluish/greenish tint to it.  In 2016 we did change to a clear holder which allowed better visibility of the note.  You can refer to this article on our website which provides some additional information about that change in holders: https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/5201/PMG-Launches-New-Clearer-Holder/  So if you have any notes that were graded prior to March/April of 2016 then they will have that older version of our holder with the tint.  You can send any of those back in to us for a reholder to have them put into our new clear holders.  The fee for a reholder is $10 per note.  If you have any other questions, you can reach us at 877-764-5570 or by email at service@pmgnotes.com.  Thank you!
