PMG Grading Tiers
All Notes: The Friedberg or Pick number should be referenced on the submission form when submitting notes in either of these references; if they are not, a fee of $5 per catalog number will be charged. A $10 adjustment fee will be charged for submission forms that must be modified prior to processing. This includes forms with more than one tier listed and bumps in tier levels due to undervalued notes. PMG will generally encapsulate notes in the smallest possible holder.

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.
(USD) Tier + $5
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 not to receive a lower grade.
