VG – Very Good (8-10) Rims are full as is date and lettering. There may be some detail in center, but still with heavy wear on all portions of the design. In many cases, only the basic outline of the major design will show clearly, unless weakly struck in some areas, as is common among pre 1836 issues.  The lettering (legends) are often complete, but may be weak in some areas, as many coins were unevenly struck and thus wore unevenly as well.

	Another example of an unevenly struck coin, this example has very sharp outer details and very weak central details, making the overall grade a nice VG.  It is logical to grade by overall detail, not just pinpoint areas.
	A sharp example with many bag marks and scuffs as would be seen on any coin of this low grade.
	Representing the highest end of the grade in terms of wear, with typical circulation marks.
