"British grading"?

jonathanb

I've seen a couple of references lately to "British grading" or "the British standard of grading". I understand that it's stricter, and it seems that there are some grades that I'm not familiar with (gVF?).

Does anyone have a link to a fuller discussion?

Thanks!

i was under the impression brits cared little/less about cleaning and more about eye appeal.... not technical grading

You'll have a lot better luck getting an answer if you ask this question over on the "Dark Side" (the world and ancient coins board).

if you collect coins from the UK... be concerned about British grading. I would not loose any sleep over the difference if you collect only US coins.
