I've never heard of anyone using this kind of grade, "Prime Select."
The coin is a Spanish 1/2 Reale looks AU or so in the picture.

Is there a complete scale for coins with this terminology? The only prime select I can recall is for grades of beef?

This coin does not have a numerical grade and "Prime Select" does not apear on the Lingo page but, from the auction description, I'm assuming it is marketing speak for AU.
Is there a list of phrases/terms PCGS uses for non-numerical grades? They have used "Gem Proof" for the SS Central America Kellogg tribute slugs and "Deep Cameo Proof" for the SS Central America Baldwin tribute eagles. Any others?

No.... Just too much time on my hands, and the internet at my fingertips..... as well as google search

I like that... Branding coins..... that way, if they're ever stolen, they can be identified........
<< <i>Since in beef grading Prime is the absolute top grade Prime should be a 70. Select is two steps down so it would be about a 62. So I would net out a Prime Select (70/62) as about a MS-64. An AU is less than Unc (Standard) so an AU would grade as Commercial on the beef scale. >>
Which would be perfect for mass marketing, on TV and the NEWPAPERS, to the uneducated......
