A PCGS XF-45 coin
The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) works independently from sovereign mints. It appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.
According to the scale, XF stands for “extremely fine.” The designation XF-45 means the coin maintains its integrity, displaying only slight indications of wear and tear on its images, wording, or texture. While certain details or edges may exhibit signs of use, the overall piece, or sections thereof, may feel smoother due to years of circulation. Nonetheless, its beauty remains undiminished, presenting itself in a close-to-pristine condition.
