Coin Grading Terms
Proof: Describes a type of coin, not a condition or grade as these coins are specially struck for the collector market and not for circulation. Most Australian proof coins have a frosted relief on a highly polished background.
FDC: (Fleur de Coin) A coin that has been struck from normal circulation dies where the strike is virtually faultless
Uncirculated – UNC: An Uncirculated coin that has been minted for circulation but has not been in commercial use and should show no signs of wear.
Almost Uncirculated – AUNC: Similar to above but with some slight traces of wear on the highest points. There should also be a degree of lustre.
Extremely Fine - EF: A coin that is should show slight wear that is barely noticeable to the eye.
Very Fine – VF: A coin of this grade will show wear with most of the lustre having disappeared. The high points will be missing and some rim damage may be present.
Fine – F: This coin should show signs of being in circulation for some time with the general design being easy to recognise but with significant parts of the design worn away.
Very Good – VG: A coin of this grade will be very worn but with the basic design and date still readable.
