The finest quality possible, the coin has no evidence of scratches, handling or contact with other coins. Very few regular issue coins are ever found in this condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Choice Uncirculated (MS-65)</b> is above average, may be brilliant or lightly toned, with very few contact marks on the surface or rim. MS-67 through MS-62 indicates slightly higher or lower grades of preservation.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Uncirculated (MS-60)</b> has no trace of wear but may show a number of contact marks and surface may be spotted or lack some luster.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Choice About Uncirculated (AU-55)</b> shows the barest evidence of light wear on only the highest points of the design. Most of the <a href="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/collecting-basics/glossary#luster" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/collecting-basics/glossary#luster" rel="nofollow">mint luster</a> remains.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>About Uncirculated (AU-50)</b> has traces of light wear on many of the high points. At least half of the mint luster is still present.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Choice Extremely Fine (EF-45)</b> shows light overall wear on highest points. All design details are very sharp. Some of the mint luster is evident.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Extremely Fine (EF-40)</b> is lightly worn throughout the design, but all features are sharp and well defined.

Many details are flat. Common coins in “Good” condition are not particularly desirable pieces for collectors. Rare or valuable coins in this condition, however, are often saved when no others are available.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>About Good (AG-3)</b> is very heavily worn with portions of lettering date and <a href="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/collecting-basics/glossary#legend" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/collecting-basics/glossary#legend" rel="nofollow">legends</a> worn smooth.
