Check out the difference on this one. Didn't even get an Original designation. Not sure what PCGS was thinking.

Re: TPG Major Difference
Honestly, I've submitted notes right from bricks which got an UNC 64 from BCS with no "Original." When I called Steve Bell he said it had a scratch on the polymer substrate. I have to take his word for it. But I also know of a US collector who bought an "Original" 58 Devil's Face $5 that got no PPQ from PCGS but UNC 64. My point is: that while TPG's want everyone to believe that they're all using the same standards, they're still people who make slight mistakes. I don't get too worked up over TPG numbers. I can't do it.

Re: TPG Major Difference
Exactly. It shows how subjective grading can be. Like the saying goes: Buy the note, not the holder.
And I can't do it either
