Grading of Maundy coins

Condition of coins is paramount. Uncirculated and proof sets are normally worth substantially more.

Shown below is the UK gradeing system.

COIN DEFINITIONS:

Proof - A coin struck from specially prepared dies giving superior definition and mirror like fields.

FDC - Flawless. Definition usually used with proofs.

UNC - An uncirculated coin as issued by the Royal Mint.

VF - Very fine. Some wear on raised surfaces.
