How to tell a buyer an approximate grade of coin or paper money, if numerical grades aren't allowed?

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone!

I searched the eBay community for few hours, but didn't find an answer.

I want to know how to tell a buyer an approximate grade of a coin or paper money if abbreviations and numerical grades like Good, Very Good, XF-40, AU-58,... aren't allowed for raw coins and paper money? There is an eBay policy that says: "Coin and paper currency listings can only mention a grade in the title or listing when that grade has been given by an approved grading company."  (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/currstamps.html#raw)

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Best regards, Blaž

You may not list a numeric grade but you may list a grade such as very fine or UNC.  Currently, there are 23K+ listings with very fine in the title and 315K+ with UNC.
