Welcome to my coin collection gallery!

The coins I will collect are mostly Turkish, some foreign too.

There are things called grades in this page. They are the number for the condition of the coin.

Here's a rough list of the grades:

MS / Mint State: No wear on the coin whatsoever.
AU / About Uncirculated: Minor wear on high points of the coin. Luster is subdue.
XF / Extremely Fine: Slight wear on the coin. Luster remains in protected fields.
VF / Very Fine: Moderate wear on the coin. No luster left.
F / Fine: Details worn away. Very worn coin.
VG / Very Good: Deatils even more worn away. Rim is starting to merge with fields.
G / Good: Very very worn coin. Almost no details left and rim is merging with fields.
AG3 / About Good: Coin almost has no detail. Rim is practically merged with fields.
FR2 / Fair: Coin almost has no detail. Rim is merged with fields. Larger details, date and mintmark barely elligible.
PO1 / Poor: Coin practically has no detail. Larger details, date and mintmark barely elligible.
