PMG Grading On-site in Munich and at MIF Maastricht in April 2023

Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) will offer on-site grading of banknotes at its Munich office from April 19-22, 2023, and at the MIF Paper Money Fair in the Netherlands from April 25-30, 2023. With on-site grading, PMG provides its full expert and impartial authentication, grading and encapsulation services on location with an extremely fast turnaround time.

The PMG on-site grading events will mark PMG’s first on-site grading in Europe since before COVID, and PMG’s very first on-site grading in the Netherlands. The latter event builds on the partnership between PMG and MIF that began in June 2022, when PMG was named the exclusive Official Grading Service of MIF Paper Money Fair.
