Coliecting coins can be a good investment, but it lequires the study of popularity, availability. and grading
techniques. Some coins are more desirable than others, their popularity being affected by the aftists' talent,
the subject of the design, the material from which the coin is made, and the time period when the eoin was
created. Availability is just as critical. Providing the coin is otherwise interesting or pleasing to the eye, the
number of coins minted and available on the market seems to have a direct relationship to the popularity.
The ability to grade coins is perhaps the most imporlant requirement of a collector. A coin that is
popular and scarce, rvhich would normally td . it valuable, may be worth much less or nothing at all if it
has a low grade. Grading is standardized, and one can buy books and take courses on how to do it.
.
Grades are given letter designations as well as numbers. The letters represent general levels of the
grade, while the numbers are more detailed. For example, there are 1i number grades within the letter
grade for a mint state coin. A mint state coin is uncirculated, which means it has never been used in
commerce. It is in the condition that it left the mint, the place where a coin is created. The mint state letter
designation is MS, and the numbers range from 60 through 70. An absolutely perfect coin is MS-70, It
takes much training and a good eye to tell the difference between coins in this range. The things one
considers include whether the coin has contaet rnarks, which are malks obtained when coins bounee
against each other in a coin bag; liairlines, which are marks appearing on the face of the coin frcm the
minting process; luster, which is the natural colcration; and eye appeal. For example, an MS-70 is said to
have no contact marks" no hairlines, very attractive and fuliy original Eruster, and outstanding eye appeal,
n'hile air MS-60 *uj huur heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines, impaired luster, and poor eye appeai.
Below the mint state coin, the letter designation and number have the same meaning. That is, there
are generaliy no numbers within the range of letters. But there are categories:
R.esr(
i'
:
tle
e
e
e
Coins thaf are About Uncirculated: Very Choice About Uncirculated, known as AU-58;
Choice About Uncir,culated, known as AU-55; and About Uncirculated, known as AU-50.
Coins that are Fine: Choice Extremely Fine, known as EF-45; Extremely Fine, known as EF-
40; Choice Very Fine, knoiam as VF-30; Very Fine, known as VF-20; and Fine, known as F-12.
e Coins that are Good: Very Good, known as VG-8; Good, known as G-4; and About Good,
known as AG-3.
Thus, a circulated coin can have a number designation between 3 and 58, with only the numbers
shown above available. That is, one cannot have a coin with a grade of 6, for example. It is either G-4 or
VG-8. It is possible for a coin labeled G-4 or even AG-3 to be extremely valuable, but generally it will be a
coin that is almost unavailable in higher grades. Books and publications monitor the coin market regularly,
just like the stock market is monitored, and they described a coin's type, date, and grade, assigning a price
to every one unless that grade would have no value.
In general, coin collectors loathe cleaned coins, so artificial cleaning by adding any chemical will
detract greatly from a coin's value. A true coin collector will say the dirt in the creases is a positive
attribute and much preferable to a cleaned coin.

Choice About Uncir,culated, known as AU-55; and About Uncirculated, known as AU-50.
Coins that are Fine: Choice Extremely Fine, known as EF-45; Extremely Fine, known as EF-
40; Choice Very Fine, knoiam as VF-30; Very Fine, known as VF-20; and Fine, known as F-12.
e Coins that are Good: Very Good, known as VG-8; Good, known as G-4; and About Good,
known as AG-3.
Thus, a circulated coin can have a number designation between 3 and 58, with only the numbers
shown above available. That is, one cannot have a coin with a grade of 6, for example. It is either G-4 or
VG-8. It is possible for a coin labeled G-4 or even AG-3 to be extremely valuable, but generally it will be a
coin that is almost unavailable in higher grades. Books and publications monitor the coin market regularly,
just like the stock market is monitored, and they described a coin's type, date, and grade, assigning a price
to every one unless that grade would have no value.
In general, coin collectors loathe cleaned coins, so artificial cleaning by adding any chemical will
detract greatly from a coin's value. A true coin collector will say the dirt in the creases is a positive
attribute and much preferable to a cleaned coin.
