The importance of understanding a little bit of grading is extremely importance in your purchase of coins. Alternatively you might go to a reputable and honest coin dealer to buy coins, nevertheless there is still a need to know a little bit of coin grading. It is therefore important to (a) attend to more coins auctions / fairs /shows OR view online similar coins to understand grading OR ask friends to explain or help so as to understand coin  grading.

Anyone would want to guess what should be the grade condition of the aforesaid coins?  My two cents worth:AVF  or VF? - at the cross of arms, the bodies and ship etc are not cleared at all-like the people are being almost being stripped of everything ( haha! – I understand they are depicting naked tribal people but not almost nude tribal people)
