Les termes «gem», «choice», «gem uncirculated», «choice uncirculated», «slider uncirculated», «gem BU», «choice BU» et l'un ou l'autre suivi de «.... and better», sont des descriptifs de l'état de conservation utilisés conjointement avec l'échelle numérique de William H. Sheldon dans l'application du «Sheldon Grading System» pour apprécier des pièces. Ce système de classification n'étant encore utilisé que pour les pièces des États-Unis, les termes anglais sont conservés en français et ne correspondent pas nécessairement à la terminologie en usage dans le Système de classification international. Les termes sont utilisés comme substantif (p. ex. «a gem») ou comme qualificatif (p. ex. «a coin in gem condition»).  1, fiche 4, Français, - gem%20BU
