The history of paper money has already undergone more than 200 years. During this period, repeatedly changed the manufacturing process of paper and printing .The fate of each note is separate and often has a fascinating history. Banknotes can be stored in good conditions without access of moisture and on the contrary could be repeatedly folded and on a later stage go for maintenance. Internet auctions with their young and inaccurate (often deliberately) photos, stock collectors/dealers of banknotes with their haste and poor lighting - all this does not allow for the purchase of a fully tested product, it often leads to raising uncertainty , stress, frustration and in extreme cases even discourages the collection, when beautiful and apparently extolled bill turns out to be merely a piece of paper not holding any standards or value.
Pursuing the legitimate expectations of collectors of banknotes, PCG company offers you the opportunity to estimate the actual state of conservation of paper money. Assessing the conservation status of banknotes in the country make us the best experts in the field of paper money to provide the highest level of service.

Estimated and sealed qualities will also be widely offered by well-known numismatic firm which represents an additional indicator of their quality.
