Coin-related Term: Very Good (VG)

Very Good (VG)

This is a well worn coin with most of the larger details of the designs being worn nearly smooth. A coin in "Very Good" condition is not very good at all. The small details are all gone, as well as most of the large details. The portrait is outlined, and has some relief, but often a good deal of the legend is worn away. Coins of this grade quite often have scratches, bumps, and other disfigurements.
