Poorly graded notes: Case study

[Mac]

What’s the difference within a grading? A lot, it would seem.

Here we have four Ploughman tenners, all graded in the VF region, by the same company in and around the same time.

Are the two '20' notes the same grade, and are the two '25' notes the same grade? Why not use numerals between 20 and 25 for more accuracy?


I would grade this one as VG


This one as Fine grade


This one I wold grade as Vg to About Fine


This one I would put at Good Fine

[ThePloughman]

4th one is the only one thats close to its right grade

[The Governor]

The Munster & Leinster graded at vf20 is significantly better than the Hibernian graded at vf20.
Both are lower grade than VF.
