Pennyman's CSA Notes 1861
Judge's Comments:
Confederate States of America notes continue their dominance in the registry and Large Size category once again in 2017 with Pennyman coming in as the recipient of the Best Large Size Set Award. Not only does Pennyman have the #1 leading set in the category of 1861 Complete Set CSA notes, but they also have the top three sets in the category! The top set is compiled of nearly all 1861 issues with the exception of the Montgomery issues as well as some of the other keys including the Indian Princess. These are hard commodities to come by, and Pennyman has been able to complete nearly 80% of the set with all notes having images and descriptions. With a 4,000+ point jump from 2016 and two more sets to boot, Pennyman is most deserving of this year's Best Large Size Set.

The "DeRocker Collection" - $5 District Set with Stars and Varieties
Judge's Comments:
Once in a while the PMG registry will have sets that make their mark on the industry due to incredible achievements in collecting. This year is a special year for small size as TheRock made some additions to Legal Tender sets that may never happen again. Jumping up nearly Note70,000 points in one year, TheRock sits atop of the Small Size collectors by a substantial amount and looks to be in a position that could be tough to catch. Additions making this possible include a $2 1928B* graded 66 and $2 1928A* and 1928E* notes both grading 64EPQ. TheRock's complete set is astounding in the fact that nearly all notes in every set across the board carries EPQ, and nearly all stars have been added. From the most common to the rarest of issues, TheRock's high standards have kept him out front and continue to be the model for what high quality sets look like in the PMG registry. One dive into the Legal Tender section of TheRock's profile will show any collector some amazing compilations of incredible notes. Congratulations to TheRock as 2017's Best Small Size Award winner.

China Foreign Bank Notes
Judge's Comments:
As China continues to make its presence known in the market, the PMG registry continues the trend. This year's Best World Set goes to KB Coins for their China Foreign Bank Note Set. Including nearly 100 notes of Chinese Foreign Banks, the set has also gained notoriety from the community with 1,000 views. Possessing a variety of notes ranging from the ever popular Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation and Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China to the Yokohama Specie Bank, this set presents a broad group of Chinese Foreign Bank notes. With more and more sets like this making their way onto the scene, expect to see more additions as the registry becomes more competitive. Congratulations to KB Coins for winning this year's Best World Set.

Judge's Comments:
This year's Best Presented Award goes to Sheik Sheck. With a central focus in U.S. notes, a look into Sheik Sheck's profile will show a complete dedication to the PMG registry. One will see that all sets include images and descriptions of notes that hold attractive eye appeal. Often we see individual sets that are above the fray, but this cumulative effort to present multiple sets with images and descriptions puts Sheik Sheck on another level. Following this lead, any collector will see how to put together a great set from start to finish in several categories. Congratulations to Sheik Sheck as 2017's winner of the Best Presented Award.
