STACK’S GRADING POLICY
For Mint State or Uncirculated coins
Stack’s believes that adjectival grading is the best way to describe a coin. However, as numerical grading
has become part of the grading vocabulary, Stack’s wishes to define the adjectival and numerical grading as
Stack’s interprets it in this catalogue. Others may differ from this interpretation. See our Terms of Sale above
for a full explanation.
Comparative Grading Language
Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-60 and means that it is probable that the coin has not entered
general circulation; the coin may have heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines and have original luster (or
be impaired). It is the lowest state of preservation of uncirculated coins. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated is at
least MS-63, which means that it has more attractive eye appeal than an MS-60, may have original or slightly
impaired luster, may have a few scattered hairlines or even a small patch of hairlines; and may have some
distracting contact marks in the field or design. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-65 and has very
pleasing eye appeal (more so than an MS-63) and full lustre. It may have a few scattered hairlines and may
also have a minimal number of contact marks. Scuff marks may show. STACK’S does not represent that a
numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin catalogued
will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service. It should be under-
stood by all that grading is a subjective art and that others may differ from these interpretations.
