$1 Series 2013 Kansas City Star Notes

[Lance A D]

I submitted ten Series 2013 Kansas City $1 star notes (printed Sep 2016 at Fort Worth) to PMG that I pulled from a new bundle of 2013 San Francisco notes.  The Kansas City notes were all J00225xxx*  The serial numbers were all separated by a hundred.  All ten notes are cut off-center, graduating from about 15% to almost 0%.  I have notes in close proximity that are not cut off-center.  The problem is that PMG believes (with no supporting data) that these notes came from 'whole' sheets that were sold to the public.  How do I convince PMG that they are wrong.

Good morning.  I forwarded your message over to our research manager and he asks if you can provide a link to the Star Note Lookup you posted in your message.  That will assist him in his research.

Thank you!

I use the same star note lookup as everybody else:  http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/5/2013/MF03477808* .We know that 5,000 sheets were printed at Ft. Worth in September 2016.  We have no evidence that any of these star sheets were sold intact by the BEP to customers.  There's nothing on eBay.  We have PMG evidence [right hand not knowing what left hand is doing] when we compare Submission # 1857648 with # 1857686 where in the first, 10 similar notes (from one bundle) were correctly graded, and ten notes in the second submission were incorrectly graded.  Finally, if one looks at serial numbers on solid sheets, the notes are not 100 serial numbers apart.  This type of mistake is embarrassing.  We need to correct this quickly and quietly.

Good afternoon.  I spoke with our Research Manager and he advised he has emailed you directly.  If you have any questions, please reply to his email and he will be happy to assist you.  Thanks!

Jennifer,  Thanks for following up.  Jay R. sent me an e-mail Saturday morning.  We traded e-mails.  He's working on it now.  He'll have this resolved at the earliest possible time.  Not to worry.
