How I Grade my Lincoln Cents The grading system used follows the standards set up by the American Numismatic Association (ANA). Most of the coins in stock are in excellent shape. None of my coins have been treated, cleaned or doctored in any way. However with pennies it's not just the grade, but the overall appearance that counts. I price my coins using the following criteria: Best (Choice Very Fine VF-30 to Uncirculated MS-65) The newer cents are bright and shinny while the older ones have a rich patina running from deep copper to bronze. Their grades will range from VF-30 up. They generally contain a few contact marks but the high points of the design show little or no wear. Minor spots may be found on some pennies as long as the spots do not distract from the overall appearance. Grading is very subjective; click here to see my guarantee . Spotted (Choice Very Fine VF-30 and up) These cents are almost the same as the "Best" coins except they may have some distractive spots or finger prints on the surface. Their grades will range from VF-30 up. They generally contain some contact marks and the high points of the design may show some wear. They do not have any corrosion. The One Cent piece is the most susceptible US coin to staining and wear. Worn (Good G-4 to Very Fine VF-20) These cents will show various amounts of wear and may be spotted, scratched or corroded. Their grades will range from G-4 up although most are in the VG-8 to VF-20 range. In general they are like many older coins that have been circulating for several years. The softness of the copper and its susceptibility to corrosion make the US One Cent piece one of the hardest coin to collect from circulation.
