About Currency Grading
Professional grading from PMG (Paper Money Guaranty) or PCGS Currency authenticates and grades banknotes on a 70-point scale, then encapsulates them in protective holders. Graded notes typically sell faster and for higher prices.
PMG Grading Scale
- 65-70: Gem Uncirculated – exceptional quality
- 58-64: About/Choice Uncirculated – minimal handling
- 40-55: Extremely Fine – light circulation
- Below 40: Circulated grades
EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality) indicates original paper without restoration – notes with EPQ command 10-30% premiums.
