  7. If the note was UNC...that is NOT necessary to trimmed 2mm away.Anyway I hope that MNS might consider to regrade this note. This is just my opinion only.

  10. Dear Malaysia Banknote,

    According to the IBNS Grading Standards, a UNC note is "a perfectly preserved note, never mishandled by the issuing authority, a bank teller, the public or a collector. Paper is clean and firm, without discoloration. Corners are sharp and square, without any evidence of rounding."

    There were no folds or handling detected on the $1.00 A/1 329622 note. Neither was the note washed or pressed. As such, it is technically a UNC note. It is probable that the note was trimmed to "remove" stains at the edges.

    Although IBNS does refer to notes with slight evidence of counting folds (creases) or sight ripple in the paper as "AU-UNC", this grading is not used by MNS.

    It is also not accurate to grade the note as AU, as according to the IBNS, an AU note is "a virtually perfect note, with some minor handling. May show evidence of bank counting folds at a corner or one light fold through the center, but not both. An AU note cannot be creased, a crease being a hard fold which has usually "broken" the surface of a note. Paper is clean and bright with original sheen. Corners are not rounded."

    I would like to state here that banknote grading is both an art and a science - it is subjective and
    dependant on external influences such as lighting.

    Please be assured that each banknote authenticated by MNS are graded by a minimum of 2-3 graders with collective grading experience of more than 50 years, with the final assigned grade being a collectively agreed grade.

  12. Always happy to share, Dickson!

    For those who are interested to advance their knowledge on the technical aspects of note grading, I would recommend reading and understanding the Sheldon Scale, which is being used extensively in the U.S. for coins and banknotes grading. It is also used by PMG, one of the world leaders in paper money grading.
