I have always wondered what do currency grades really mean and what does it mean to me in terms of investment value or even to a layman trying to make sense of it. Also, what grades are worth investing in and what I should be focussing my collecting efforts on to build a collection that is suitable for me.
I have dealt with bonds before and there is a pretty similar grid that is used to determine the investable grade of all kinds of bonds. I did a cross calibration and together with my analysis I have tiered the various PMG grades and done a proxy methodology in proving an easy map to help understand better the various investment tiers of notes.
Again this is purely based on my analysis together with a thorough calibration done solely by me. All this analysis was formulated by me and is proprietary. Also most of my comments are geared towards Orchid and GKS Orchids as this is my area of specialty.
It is also just to be used as a reference guide to help you and is in no way related to PMG other than the grading scale which I have used, that they have provided on their website:

Hope the grid below has helped provide some additional value for all you fellow enthusiasts!
