Instructions and guidelines how to submit your notes and acceptance to our Terms & Conditions for grading services:
• Place raw notes into non-PVC plastic sleeves. Use larger sleeves for larger notes. Notes should insert easily into sleeves. Placing a note in a sleeve that is too small may result in damage to the note. Remove all other packaging before placing a note in a sleeve. Do not cut, tape, staple or glue sleeves as that may damage a note.
• Place only one note in a sleeve.
• If you have 20 notes, they need to be numbered from 1 to 20, (1, 2, 3…) preferably in alphabetic order, or in your preferred order, eg. 1. Australia, 2. Belgium, 3. Canada… and so on. Each note needs to have provided a correct catalog number., Pick# xxx or any other catalog reference, failure to do this our charge is a fee of $5/pc for the extra additional research work.

Add-on services, please see below explanations:
• ReGrade: If you believe that the grade of an PMG-certified holder should be higher, you may submit the coin under the ReGrade service to be reviewed for a higher grade. The note must still be sealed in its PMG holder. Notes are graded according to PMG’s grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. However, the original PMG grade at the time of submission is covered by the PMG Guarantee. Choose a grading tier according to the notes’s value and desired turnaround time. The grading fee still applies even if a higher grade is not received. Notes submitted for ReGrade will be removed from their PMG holder by PMG staff and encapsulated with a new PMG holder, label and certification number even if the grade doesn’t change.
• Other add-on services, such as Early Releases, Special Label, Variety, Re-holder, PMG Oversized Holder, Pedigree are all extra services which are mentioned in the price list on the previous page, these prices are pr/note and if you wish such services, you need to indicate this in the submission form on the next page!
