If you are new to coin grading, here is a 'made simple' guide to how the coin grading scale works. Also, if you want to try grading your own coins yourself, there is a very clear explanation of how to go about this. The explanation of how there are really only three 'buckets' to put coins in initially was helpful to me. The critical consideration of course, when grading a coin, is to be able to accurately assess how much wear a coin has had, assuming the coin was perfectly minted to begin with. When you have accurately graded your numismatic coin, then you can begin to be able to assess its market value: but that is another story.
