________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the early years of coin collecting, three general terms were used to grade coins:

• good - when circulation had worn the surface of the coin, but major details are still visible.
• fine - when features are less worn and some mint luster shows on the surface. Most detail visible
• uncirculated - when the features of the coin are sharp and the luster as a newly minted coin.
• I will use these descriptions to describe the coins I am selling. If you want more pictures or further information, please ask!
