Explanation

Professional coin grading evaluates five key components: strike (how well the coin was stamped), surface preservation (condition of the coin's surface), luster (original shine), coloration (natural toning or discoloration), and eye appeal (overall visual attractiveness). These factors determine the coin's grade on the Sheldon scale (1-70).
