In coin collecting, coin grading is the process of determining the grade or condition of a coin, one of the key factors in its value as a collector's item.

There are subtle variations in the grades assigned by each of these major services, and prospective buyers are encouraged to seek professional or expert advice before making any important rare coin purchases.
