We offer PAPER MONEY Grading Services by PMG currency grading

Why Choose PMG Grading?

PMG's inception was a response to the transformative influence of third-party grading in numismatics. Just as coin collectors benefited from NGC's independent coin grading, paper money collectors needed a similar system to address issues of misrepresented notes and counterfeit currency.

Established in 2005, PMG is committed to delivering unbiased assessments of a note's authenticity and grade. The team consists of over 20 full-time note graders and external consultants, ensuring impartiality. PMG and its full-time graders do not engage in commercial note trading, and strict safeguards are in place to prevent any influence on grades.

PMG's grading team combines their expertise to provide unmatched accuracy and consistency. Impartial grades, backed by the PMG Guarantee, enhance confidence, liquidity, and the value of currency transactions. Collectors and dealers worldwide have embraced PMG certification, making it a prominent third-party paper money grading service with over 9 million notes certified.
