I personally grade everything I sell, I stand behind my grading, and I am confident you will find my opinions on grading to be accurate and CONSERVATIVE. Nearly all of the third party-graded notes I sell were originally purchased as "raw" (ungraded) by me, then submitted to the grading service for independent grading by me - - if you are the high bidder in one of my auctions, you will be the first owner of that freshly-graded note, fresh from the grading service. No tired, recycled banknotes from Goodpaper! At this time, I prefer to use Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) to independently grade my notes as I feel they are consistently conservative and offer the best market value for buyers. Review my feedback and decide for yourself. I offer a full (7) days NO QUESTIONS ASKED return privilege. This return option applies to all third party-graded notes well. I intend to earn your trust and satisfaction. My mailing address:John DeMarisPO Box 72Boys Town, NE 68010   For raw/ungraded notes, I utilize the Dual Grading System, which is endorsed and in use today by a number of the currency hobby's most honest and respected dealers. The dual grading system recognizes the importance of both PAPER QUALITY and CENTERING by assigning separate grades to both features, rather than trying to arrive at a single "net" grade that attempts to blend and factor both paper quality and centering into a single grade.In the Dual Grading System, the first term refers to the paper quality and the letter in parenthesis indicates the centering. Centering grades are:(vf) Full margins and well centered on both sides with only a slight shift evident; also called "Gem" centering(f) The shift is obvious but not at all objectionable. Could be well centered but with narrow margins.(a) One or more margins are close or touching, or the note in general is very off-center and distracting. Place a Bid!
