Paper Money Guaranty PMG – Grading Label

It is with great pleasure and honour that I wish to bring to your attention that the Grading Labels of ‘Paper Money Guaranty – PMG’ for Indian Paper Money will henceforth carry my name prefixed to the note type number.  The Type Numbers will have the provenance from ‘The Revised Standard Reference Guide to Indian Paper Money’.

The content on Grading Slabs of PMG for Indian Paper Money will have the Type Number Reference prefixed with “Jhun&Rez”.  This current version of the PMG slab recognizes and endorses my contributions in the field of Indian Paper Money. 

As a Researcher and a long time Contributor to the knowledge pool of Indian Numismatics it gives me joy and a sense of pride to be recognized and acknowledged.

I must acknowledge the efforts of Mr. Athappan Sundaram and I thank him profusely for working closely with PMG and coming up with the specifications and design of the new Grading Labels.

I also thank PMG for the recognition and honour.  The first Grading Slab rolled out of PMG on Friday 7th September 2018. 

Henceforth all Indian Paper Money graded will carry my name on the Grading Label.
