Welcome to the Banknote Certification Service: Paper money collecting is a pursuit for the finely tuned. With the multitude of considerations that must be taken into account when assessing a note, it is easy for the untrained or rushed eye to miss key elements of the hobby. Evolving grading standards can leave some collectors behind. Discrepancies between grading can prevent many collectors and dealers from making desired transactions. Because of these and many more convoluting factors hindering the enjoyment of this wonderful endeavour, paper money collecting is in need of a solid system of third party verification. An unbiased and professional third party assessment of a banknote will preserve standards in the industry, take the guess work out of grading a banknote, and through this, provide assurance for both the buyer and seller. BCS is poised to provide all of this and more. Steven Bell President - Banknote Certification Service
