G – Good (4-6) - A coin in G will show very heavy wear. The top part of the lettering may be faint due to wear or weakly struck rims. A weak outline of the main portrait will be visible, with no central designs apparent, such as hair, eye, “Liberty”, feather detail, etc. Circulation marks are common as such coins have been in use for decades.

Note that this example has very little damage, just even wear. Undamaged coins in this low grade are scarce, as it takes about 50 years of heavy use to wear this much. Lettering and date are weak but fully readable. |

This example is a bit weak on the reverse center but strong on the obverse center. Note the light damage, and circulation marks, which is expected on any coin with this degree of wear. |
