If you disagree with a grade assigned by PMG, you may submit the note for review for a higher grade. The note must be intact in its PMG holder. Choose a grading tier according to the note’s value and the tier requirements. Notes are graded according to PMGʼs grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. Fees are not refunded if a higher grade is not received. A note submitted for ReGrade will be removed from its PMG holder by PMG staff and encapsulated with a new PMG holder, label and certification number, even if the grade does not change. A note submitted under ReGrade is guaranteed to not receive a lower grade.

Additional attribution not mentioned in Friedberg, Haxby, Criswell, Schwan, Charlton or the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, as well as all “f” fluorescence attributions for Chinese RMB notes.

For public collections, submit copies of auction lots and plates, sales invoices or other backup of pedigree. To add a pedigree to notes already encapsulated by PMG, also select an applicable PMG ReHolder service. Print clearly on the submission form exactly how you want the pedigree to appear. Subject to PMG’s approval.

Review of a note holdered by PCGS Currency, PCGS Gold Shield, PCGS Banknote Grading, PCGS CMC or PCGS Banknote (the "PCGS Brands") for PMG certification. A note will be removed from its holder only if PMG believes that the note will meet or exceed PMG’s standards for the grade assigned by the PCGS Brand. If PMG does not believe that the note will meet PMG’s standards, the note will be returned in its PCGS-branded holder and the grading fee will be refunded less a £10 processing charge per note. If you would like the note in a PCGS-branded holder certified by PMG regardless of the PMG grade that it will receive, write CROSS AT ANY GRADE in bold letters on the PMG Submission Form. PMG’s grading fees will be discounted by 20% for CrossOver submissions designated as “CROSS AT ANY GRADE.”
