PMG to Grade Vintage Banknotes Full-Time in Shanghai

NGC Shanghai Business Information Consulting Co., Ltd. (NGC Shanghai), the China-based affiliate of Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), will now offer full-time PMG authentication, grading and encapsulation of vintage banknotes.

Modern notes as well as Chinese Second Series RMB notes have already been graded on a full-time basis at NGC Shanghai’s 15,000-square-foot facility in the prestigious Xintiandi district of Shanghai.

Vintage banknotes like this Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. 1921-23 50 Dollars will be graded in Shanghai daily. Click image to enlarge.

Previously, vintage paper money was graded in Shanghai only during on-site grading events, which were held several times each year. Recent efforts by PMG to expand and develop its Shanghai banknote grading team have enabled it to now grade virtually all notes on a daily basis.

"PMG has long been committed to expanding and enhancing its services in China," said Steven R. Eichenbaum, CEO of PMG. "We are honored to be able to better serve collectors and dealers with our comprehensive paper money certification services."

Vintage and modern banknotes from virtually all countries will be graded on all regular working days, providing much shorter turnaround times. There is no value limit for PMG’s full-time grading services in China.
