Why Graded Coins
The Value of Graded Coins
One of the biggest advantages of graded coins is that their quality is fixed in time. This certainty makes them highly sought after, with collectors often paying a significant premium for coins in outstanding condition.
While rarity and metal value impact pricing, a higher-graded version of the same coin will always command a higher market value than a lower-graded counterpart.
Collectors prefer coins in the best condition possible, for obvious reasons. A coin in mint condition will retain more of the fine detail of the original engraving, too.
That’s why Gold Stream exclusively works with NGC and PCGS—the most trusted names in coin grading—to ensure every coin meets the highest industry standards for accuracy and reliability.
The Grading Process
Independent, world-renowned grading organizations thoroughly examine each coin and assign a grade based on the Sheldon Scale (0-70):
-
MS70 → A perfect coin, flawless in every aspect (exceptionally rare but available through Gold Stream).
-
MS60+ → Mint State coins, in pristine, uncirculated condition.
-
AU50-60 → About Uncirculated coins, showing only slight wear.
-
XF40-45 → Extremely Fine coins, with minor imperfections.
-
VF20-30 / GF (Good Fine ≤ 20) → Lower-grade coins, typically assigned letter codes instead of numbers.
-
PR70 (Proof 70) → Proof coins receive the "PR" or "PF" prefix before their grade (e.g., PR70).
