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. Polish grading scale consists of five grades and additional proof states: V (the lowest grade), IV, III, II, I, L (proof). Polish grading scale is not equal to American or Britain scale. As of 2008, there are three prevalent coin grading services: PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. 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.
