Grading for Canadian coins 1901-1936 (Edward VIII, George V) Here is the exact grading from the Charlton book (1968, but I think it is still the same today): G - band of crown worn through. VG - band of crown is worn through at the highest point. F - jewels in the band of crown will be blurred. VF - band of the crown is still clear but no longer sharp EF - band of the crown slightly worn, but generally sharp and clear
