TREASURE AUCTIONS

SPECIAL ABBREVIATIONS FOR BOOK LISTINGS

This auction contains several book listings, which require data that are customarily abbreviated, as follows:

HC = hard cover

SC = soft cover

DJ = dust jacket

illus = illustrated

ed. = edition

pp = pages

PR = Prices Realized (auction results)

XL = ex-library (with stampings and/or card-holders pasted in)

 Also we have not assigned grades to the books, which should all be assumed to complete and in lightly used condition (most booksellers’ grade of “Fine”) except where noted otherwise.

 

COIN GRADING

 

From best to worst, UNC is Uncirculated, AU is Almost Uncirculated, XF is Extra Fine, VF is Very Fine, F is Fine, VG is Very Good, and G is Good, with Fair and Poor below that.  (“About” or “A” means the coin is just shy of the indicated grade.  “Mint State” refers to lustrous, choice UNC coins.) We do not always assign numismatic grades to sea-salvage and land-burial coins, which were usually Uncirculated (or close to it) before the effects of corrosion and/or cleaning. Corrosion is usually assessed, from least to most, as follows: none, minimal, light, moderate, and heavy. Also note that we sometimes use the abbreviations E for escudos and R for reales in the listings for Spanish and Spanish colonial items.
