A pedigree can be added to the certification label to indicate a note’s past or present ownership. The Pedigree service must also be selected for all notes with a courtesy autograph. To pedigree a note to a previous owner, that collector or collection must be considered to be significant by PMG and sufficient documentation (including copies of auction lots and plates, sales invoices or other backup) must be provided to confirm the requested pedigree. You can also pedigree a note to yourself, typically without providing any documentation. 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 on the PMG label. All pedigrees are subject to PMG’s approval. The Pedigree fee applies when requested regardless of whether PMG determines the note to have an eligible pedigree.

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.

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.” Visit PMG CrossOver Service for more information.
