<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1942877, member: 23368&quot;]CoinTalk members understand the grading system for coins and paper currency, but what about exonumia? Do you use the same thought process for medals as you do coins? They are rarely ever circulated. How about tokens? Do you grade them more like ancient coins than modern coins? Is there an allowance for cleaning? I&#039;m finally entering my casino chips into my exonumia collection. How do you distinguish between an average, slightly used or new casino chip? That is the jargon used by chip collectors for grading. Obviously wear, but what about a very small blemish or one extremely small chip off the clay disc? Or do they have to achieve the MS/PF70 state that coins have? Is there a published standard for these items? I know there is a big difference in the value of a slightly used verses new casino chip. Is it all subjective without guidelines? The pricing guides and books don&#039;t offer much help either. Rarity will help identify the value but not help with it&#039;s grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
