How To Grade A Milled Coin (Uk Grading System)
Hi,
This is my first guide to ArticlesBase about grading a milled coin.
FDC Fleur-De-Coin This is an absolutely flawless coin with no scratches or wear whatsoever.
UNC Uncirculated In brand-new condition. Royal Mint issue coins in this condition. This grade is almost 100%.
EF Extremely fine Scratches and/or wear can not be detected easily without a close look at a coin in EF grade.
VF Very fine Higher surfaces on coin will be worn but still having a lot of detail overall.
F Fine Higher surfaces on coin will be worn away but lower surfaces will still be “sharp” e.g the Hair or Moustache.
Fair Very worn and scratches will probably be on a Fair graded coin but letters will all be easily readable.
Poor Very worn and scratches will be easily seen. Some letters will have worn away also on a poor coin.
A coin may not be exactly Fine for example. If it was worse than Fine but not Fair it could be “Almost Fine” but if it was better than Fine but not Very Fine it would be “Almost Very Fine” or “good Fine”.
I hope this guide was useful to you and you have now learned the basics of grading a milled coin but learning to professionally grade a coin comes with years of experience. If you would like to view my online coin shop feel free: Click here to visit my website.
