Condition
Bullion Grade
Mint Condition
Bullion Grade
The coin is considered bullion grade. The coin will show general wear and tear consistent with the age of the coin. Slight surface scratching, perhaps a few little knocks, but nothing that will change the specifications or bullion content of the coin.
Bullion Grade
Mint Condition
Better Than Bullion
Any coin rated higher than bullion grade will show less surface scratching than expected for a coin of its minted year, will have fewer knocks to the surface. These coins may have been in protective packaging for some time during their circulation and must be considered aesthetically better than bullion grade. Most likely these coins will be later minted years or very good quality older coins.
Bullion Grade
Mint Condition
As Good As New
These coins are essentially as good as new, little to no surface scratches beautiful in quality and no knock or noticeable scuff marks. Coins rated at this point in our scale are most likely to have been capsuled or contained within packaging for the majority of their circulation. Just a little lower than the official rating of Mint Condition as they will have been handled more frequently than mint coins, however please note these coins have still been in circulation.

Mint Condition
These coins are mint condition, fresh of the press and perfectly preserved from print to packaging. Please note that Mint Stock, does not mean untouched by hands- but this condition coin ranking is as good as a gold coin comes to perfection.
