Coin Grading

In coin collecting coin grading is the process of determining the grade or condition of a coin, one of the key factors in determining its value as a collector's item.

The grading of a coin includes the analysis of several criteria, the most important being the quality, the rarity, the interest factor, and the liquidity factor.

Coin grading has evolved over the years to a system of finer and finer grade distinctions. Originally, there were only two grades, new and used.  More information
