Guest Roger Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 All I am asking about grading because each and every one of you grade differently. For example: ANA Coin Grading scale there is only an F-12, Where as the PCGS and NGC have F-12 and F-15. Then you have a CoinManage software that has F-12 and F-16. What is an F-16 grade?

admin Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi, all the parties you mention use the Sheldon grading scale from 1-70. Do a google search on "Sheldon coin grading" for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-W Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I did that search, found the wikipedia article on the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale... I didn't see anything about F-16 is that article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Extremely Fine + AU55 - AU57 About Uncirculated AU58 - AU59 Uncirculated MS60 - MS62 Select/Choice Uncirculated MS63 - MS64 About Brilliant Uncirculated MS65 - MS66 Brilliant Uncirculated MS67 - MS69 Usually full lustre FDC MS70 Unobtainable with mass produced coins.
