PMG Services & Fees

Fast Track submissions always receive priority turnaround times, but turnaround times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. The Fast Track fee is not refunded if the turnaround time is longer than estimated.

Note: The Fast Track option is available starting February 18, 2025. It cannot be retroactively applied to orders already received by PMG.

Select this service to receive either the EARLY RELEASES or FIRST RELEASES designation for qualifying notes. Select only one. Visit PMGnotes.com/cutoffdates for a list of eligible notes and submission cutoff dates.

Additional attribution not mentoined in Friedberg, Haxby, Criswell, Schwan, Charlton & the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, as well as all "f" fluorescence attributions for Chinese RMB notes. The Variety fee applies when requested regardless of whether PMG determines the note to be a recognized variety.

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.

If you disagree with a grade previously 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. All notes submitted under ReGrade are subject to the terms and conditions of the PMG Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the grade is determined to be lower through ReGrade, the ReGrade will be converted into an Appearance Review under the PMG Guarantee.
