Coin Grading Chart
It is important to grade the coins in your hand. Coin value depends on the grade. Here are the normal denominations of coin grading's.
P1
Barely identifiable; must have date and mintmark, otherwise pretty thrashed.
FR2
Worn almost smooth but lacking the damage Poor coins have.
G-4
Heavily worn such that inscriptions merge into the rims in places; details are mostly gone.
VG-8
Very worn, but all major design elements are clear, if faint. Little if any central detail.
F-12
Very worn, but wear is even and overall design elements stand out boldly. Almost fully-separated rims.
VF-20
Moderately worn, with some finer details remaining. All letters of LIBERTY, (if present,) should be readable. Full, clean rims.
EF-40
Lightly worn; all devices are clear, major devices bold.
AU-50
Slight traces of wear on high points; may have contact marks and little eye appeal.
AU-58
Slightest hints of wear marks, no major contact marks, almost full luster, and positive eye appeal.
