A system for coin grading using a combination of letters and numbers, instead of an adjectival scale, to express the state of a coin. It was conceived in the late 1940's by Dr. William H. Sheldon who devised a numerical scale, on which 1 represented the worst possible condition of preservation of an unmutilated coin, while 70 was the best possible condition. Used in conjunction with the most common abbreviations that describe coins verbally, it gives a precise idea of the degree of wear of a coin.  1, record 6, English, - Sheldon%20Grading%20System

A coin is graded into one of two general categories : circulated or uncirculated. Within each are a number of grades which further define its condition which in turn determines its price. A circulated coin is primarily judged on the basis of the degree of wear of the coin, the less the better. An uncirculated coin has no wear at all and is judged according to at least three factors :(1) qualities of the lustre,(2) surfaces, and(3) strike. Connoisseurs add a fourth :(4) quality of the original toning.  1, record 8, English, - coin%20grade

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Les pièces de monnaie sont regroupées en deux catégories : pièces de circulation et pièces hors-circulation ou de collection. L'état de conservation des pièces dépend de très nombreux facteurs théoriquement indépendants de l'âge de la pièce : mode de fabrication, nature et qualité de l'outillage, durée et forme de circulation et conditions de conservation. Facteur déterminant pour le collectionneur, le degré de conservation doit être rigoureusement établi. En principe, c'est toujours la plus mauvaise face qui doit être retenue pour qualifier la pièce. Les frappes anciennes étant souvent irrégulières, la pièce est jugée sur son état; on précise, le cas échéant, qu'une lettre ou qu'un détail est «mal venu».  1, record 8, French, - %C3%A9tat%20de%20conservation

1967. Three kinds of sets of the new-design(Canadian wildlife) coins were offered to collectors by the Royal Canadian Mint :1. the familiar six-coin set in plastic, 2. a set in a red leather-covered case(containing a sterling silver medallion in addition to the standard six coins), and 3. a "gold set" in a black leather-covered case. The gold set contained the cent through the dollar and a twenty-dollar gold coin bearing the Coat of Arms of Canada on its reverse. All coins in the gold set were of the best quality the Mint could produce at the time. Some sets even had lacquered coins, to help ensure that their beautiful finish would remain free of tarnish for many years.  1, record 9, English, - new%2Ddesign%20coins%20set%20%281967%29

1967. Pour souligner le Centenaire de la Confédération canadienne, trois ensembles comprenant la série de pièces à nouveaux motifs (faune canadienne) furent offerts aux collectionneurs par la Monnaie royale canadienne : 1. l'ensemble comprenant la série habituelle de six pièces sous plastique, 2. l'ensemble comprenant la série de six pièces plus un médaillon d'argent sterling, dans un coffret de cuir rouge, et 3. l'«ensemble or» présenté dans un coffret recouvert de cuir noir. Ce dernier contenait toutes les divisions du cent au dollar inclusivement et une pièce d'or de 20 dollars dont le revers s'ornait des armoiries du Canada. Toutes les pièces de l'«ensemble or» étaient de la meilleure qualité que la Monnaie pouvait alors produire.
