Why grading matters

In numismatics, an exceptional design or limited mintage is only part of the story – true value lies in a coin’s authenticity and preservation. Purchasing an ungraded specimen exposes you to counterfeit risks or hidden signs of circulation that can go unnoticed at first glance. To eliminate these hazards and build collector and investor confidence, more enthusiasts turn to professionally graded coins, sealed in protective “slabs” that both safeguard the mint condition and document it.

What Is coin grading?

Grading is the rigorous process of evaluating a coin’s condition on the 1–70 Sheldon Scale, devised in the 1940s by American numismatist William Sheldon. Coins rated Mint State (MS 60+) have never entered circulation, while top-grade pieces (MS 65–70) display near-perfect mint luster with virtually no handling marks. Once graded, each coin is hermetically sealed in a slab bearing a visible certificate, serial number, and laboratory hologram. This has become the indispensable standard for serious collectors: it guarantees authenticity, delivers full condition transparency, and provides long-term protection against external damage.

How grading enhances market value

For investors, grading delivers peace of mind: a coin that has passed rigorous inspection harbors no surprises. The slab shields the silver from moisture, scratches, and oxidation, while its elegant presentation makes the coin display-ready or resale-friendly. Grading documentation simplifies valuation and negotiations – buyers see a clear MS rating and verifiable provenance. Consequently, graded coins trade more swiftly and command substantially higher prices than their uncertified counterparts.

2025 Germania 1 oz Silver BU – a pioneering graded release

In response to growing demand for certified coins, Germania Mint has partnered with European Coin Company (ECC) to introduce the 2025 Germania 1 oz Silver BU as our first officially graded issue. From the total mintage of 15 000, we earmarked 500 coins struck on the first day for professional grading. Each achieved a perfect MS 70, was slabbed with a unique serial number and ECC hologram, and then returned to Germania Mint for distribution exclusively through our Authorized Distributors. The remaining 14 500 coins are available in standard BU packaging with Certificates of Authenticity.
