At Raleigh Gold Coin Dealers we buy graded coins by ANACS,PCGS & NGC. These are the largest and best coin grading companies. These companies have been in business for decades. We will help you understand more about the art of coin grading. It can take many years to really understand how to properly grade a coin. Most people say their coins are in good condition or bad condition. That's two grades or conditions. If only it was that easy folks. Below is a complete list of how coins are graded by serious coin collectors and dealers.
COIN GRADING MADE SIMPLE : (NOT)
US Coins are graded on a scale from 1 to 70. These standards were adapted in the 1970 by the ANA from the first coin grading scale called " the Sheldon scale " which was used for Large Cents. This scale encompass traditional terms such as Good, Fine, Extra Fine & Uncirculated and assigns a numerical value in which to compare to other coins of the same type. The scale starts with PO 1 Poor (think really, really bad) and continues up to Mint State (think Brand Shinny New) coins which runs from MS 60 to a perfect coin in a MS 70. To understand the coin values you must know the coins condition. We can do that for you !!
