TPG vs Raw currency
My apologies for creating such a controversy in this ng over Currency
grading... The paper-money ng is sorta dead + filled with spam.. Being new to paper money collecting I want to _protect my investment _But still be able to 'show them off' w/o fear of damage.. thus my desire for certified Bison, Chief, Educational notes.. Fortunately the "Memphis International Paper Money Show" is in my city (I've attended past shows). Years ago I was a member of the local coin club that set-up / dismantled the boruse sp but lost interest... Now I find myself gravitating to paper money (specifically type notes) in XF+ condition.. CU to Gem's are out of my range (unless I win the lottery To keep this OT I agree with note.boy & prefer 'raw' coins... for my type sets... High dollar paper money is a horse of a different color though Thank you all for the advice... |

TPG vs Raw currency
Slabbed paper money has hit that
market big time along with a lot of controversy. The paper money newsgroup has next to nothing on the subject but check out Collectors Universe message boards in the paper money section for many threads on the subject of TPG of currency. XF+ and AU notes of the popular series of currency are getting harder to find as many are being bought up at auction and on brouse floors and then showing up in TPG slabs as MS65 Gem etc. The processing of notes to a higher grade is only getting worse as there is big money to be made by those engaged in the practice. |

I find this an interesting thread. While I don't collect notes, I have been considering collecting a few uncirculated World note of the current existing countries. Not very interested in the US stuff at this time which is usually the area that commands high value and the grade can make a big difference. Anyone have some cheap NEW world notes for sale or trade?

Cliff; I've used Capital holders for years & really like 'em. BTW,
You can find their currency holders on eBay all the time for next to nothing My other reason for wanting TPG notes are when it comes to time to sell (by my family.....after I take that long dirt nap).. Dale; I started out collecting World notes a year ago & the bug's bit ! |

Buy raw and then slab them--that way you'll have some professional help on your side when you try to sell. Of course a seasoned buyer will want to feel the paper since it is impossible to grade paper money without feeling it. Catch-22 strikes again ;-) |
