Mint Grading System
Mint Grading System
by Robert L Taylor, JD,
Coin grading is a term used to refer to the process with determining the condition or quality of a coin, and its full identity. It is important to know what quality is of a particular coin, because, as a general matter that the higher the quality of a coin, the higher its numismatic value.
Coins are graded on a 0-70 point scale devised by Dr William Shelby. Details can be found in the Official ANA Grading Standards for United States Coins published by the American Numismatic Association (ANA). Under this method of grading, the higher scale assigned to a particular coin, the better quality.
The process of grading a coin is partly subjective and partly an art, rather than a true science. Accurate grading requires many years of competence and experience. But setting an approximate grade is possible for even the novice coin collector.
The fundamental point scales that define the coin grades is as follows:
1st Mint State Perfect Uncirculated (MS-70)
Mint state uncirculated coin in perfect condition, shows no traces of wear and no stains, scratches, handling or contact with other coins. The best quality coin possible.
2nd Choice (Gem) Uncirculated (MS-65-69)
An above average uncirculated coin which retains all original mint luster or gloss and has a very few contact marks on the surface or rim, which is almost imperceptible.
3rd Brilliant Uncirculated or BU (MS-60-64)
An uncirculated coin that has traces of wear but have a few contact marks surface spotting or lacks some of its original luster.
4th Choice About Uncirculated (AU-55 & 58)
A coin having very light wear on only the highest points in design, but no other defects and with most of its luster back.
5th About Uncirculated (AU-50)
Coin has evidence of light wear on many of the high points, but at least half of the mint luster is still present.
6th Extremely Fine (EC-40)
The coin design is easy wear in most places, but all of the features remain sharp and well defined.
7th Choice Very Fine (VF-30)
Light even wear on the surface and highest parts of the design, but most major features and letters are sharp.
8th Very Fine (VF-20)
Smaller features some of the finer hair detail, feathers, etc. will be moderately worn. Shows moderate wear on high points in design. All major details are clear.
9th Fine (F-12)
Moderate to considerable even wear over most features and letters. A lot of the details are worn through, but you can still see a good part of the design. 10th Very Good (VG-8)
The entire design is weak, but few details are visible. Well worn throughout but coin rims still visible.
11th Good (G-4)
Heavily worn but design and legend still visible although quite weak in spots. Many details are gone.
12th About Good (AG-3)
Very heavily worn with parts of letters, date and legends worn and barely noticeable.
Have fun collecting your Perfect Coins!
