IS THIS A COUNTERFEIT NOTE?



Is this note 'legit' he asked?

We  have just received a message from an interested buyer for one of my graded currency notes. Here is his question:
"I am very interested in purchasing this note. I am worried, though, that the note may be counterfeit. A friend of mine just spent a lot of money on a counterfeit note and got burned. How can I be sure this note is legit?"

Here is my reply:

Thank you so much for your interest in this beautiful and extremely rare note.

Your query is an excellent one. Probably the most important reason to have a coin or note graded is for the simple reason of the thousands of counterfeit copies. 

Thus, it is ALWAYS risky to purchase any ungraded currency item! That is why we, with just a few rare exceptions, only sell GRADED notes. Please notice that this note ABOVE has been authenticated [graded] by the PMG [PAPER MONEY GRADING] grading organization. PMG is the world leader in grading/authenticating world paper money. I recommend going to their web site (just do a google search for PMG grading) to learn more about this industry leader. 

Please also notice the official and unique PMG certificate number that has been assigned to this note (located on the back of the grading banner and written into the item's description section). Again, PMG has placed their “mark” and their reputation on the authenticity of this note. As quoted from their web site information, “PMG will not grade notes that are counterfeit, are of questionable authenticity or have been altered.”

That is why you can be certain that this note we are selling is authentic – because PMG has placed its official stamp of approval upon the note. Having a note graded is a costly, lengthy process but well worth it for both buyers and sellers. Importantly, the note’s value (for both buyer and seller) is increased through this grading process.

How to Start a Currency Collection

I want to start collecting coins and currency items; where do I start?

Collectors of coins and currency do so for many reasons. One of the most common collector is the hobiest who collects more for fun and appeal, rather than profit. Often, this attraction begins as a child who, by chance or purpose, receives an item that is both fascinating and historical.

An increasingly popular reason to pursue collecting of coins and currency is to do so as an investment Persons who use collections as a kind of investing do so with the idea that the value of the items, in singular or total, will increase over time. Supply and demand is the key concept here as well as a critical understanding that collections do not “make” money until they are sold and may even incur costs, such as the costs of safe and secure storage.

A third type of collector is the person who acquires a collection via inheritance. This person may or may not have any real interest in the items but appreciates potential value.

One great advantage we have today is the internet. For example, take a careful look around our Treasuredstocks.com web site and you will see over 4,000 items, of all categories, grades, and prices, all graded and all in full color view. And now a bit about grading. A graded item allows collectors to speak the same language when it comes to the condition of the item.

The term “Numismatics” refers to the study or collecting of coin/currency. A numismatist is someone who does this by hobby or profession. Here is a great web site to use, when learning more about such an exciting field. There’s even several links specifically designed for children.
