Petition to Charlton, CPMS against sub UNC grading

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I believe this petition brought some FAST awareness to the dangers of TPG notes, who were advertising many grades of UNC --> With reliability in question.

I think it was very valuable in this way.  3 grades of UNC beats 10 or 9. 

3 grades of Uncirculated notes beats a much larger number spread on these pages. The Sheldon system of numbers was never intended to have up to 9 or 10 different grades of Unc. coins, and certainly would be most difficult to have so many for notes, and probably more confusing.

Unc. 60, 63, 65 is more than enough for paper.

Sorry just realized this site, I truly agree that the private collector is the only to suffer from greed of others. Erroneous grading principles only discourage and confuse even the common collector. The Big prey on the small, but the smart prey on the Big. I Hope were not too late !

I signed this petition many months ago. However, it seems that the petition did not succeed as the next edition of the Charlton Government Paper Money Catalogue WILL be incorporating various degrees of Unc.

I was therefore wondering whether it would be appropriate to remove the "sticky" on this thread?

agreed

Note that this thread may have helped LIMIT the numbered grading system...  It could have gotten ridiculous...

I was in Kitchener the other day and dropped into a popular Coin store there. The fellow said they sent away a few notes to PMG to test them out.

A note he graded AU-UNC ( 1937 $ 1 with 2 large counting creases ) came back as UNC66. These creases were so prevalant you could see them through the plastic holder. There is a lot of PMG stuff floating around out there. Beware !!
