We are committed to supplying high quality coins and currency at competitive prices.* Coin collecting is a great hobby; we strive to meet the needs of all our customers. At Skyline we like to focus on American coins and currency since they are generally the most compelling collectibles, in terms of aesthetics and as a direct line of communication with our history and heritage. We hope that our coins bring not just a sense of gratification, but a feeling of fulfillment as you add to your collections.

*Skyline, however, does not sell coins for investment purposes under any circumstances. Coins are only a good investment if you are a professional grading expert.

We provide our customers with "raw" coins, that is to say coins that we have graded using both Photograde by James Ruddy (ISBN: 0-9742371-5-9) and our understanding of industry standards.

Due to the ultimately subjective nature of grading, Skyline does not accept the opinion of outside parties (grading services included). Any coins submitted to grading services may not be returned for any reason.

These are nice Uncirculated coins. We reject coins with unsightly bag marks, below average strikes or unsightly defects. You can expect a very attractive coin.

These are premium quality Uncirculated coins with above average strikes and luster with cleaner than average surfaces.

These are our finest Uncirculated coins. They offer superior strike and luster as well as a lack of major abrasions.

We grade paper money using industry standards:

VG (Very Good) Will be fairly well soiled; may be significantly worn; might have roughness around the edges with only minute problems.

F (Fine) Well circulated with little crispness remaining; edges may be rough.

VF (Very Fine) Some circulation; may show several folds and will have lost some of its crispness and color.

XF (Extra Fine) Circulated; may have some folds; still has some crispness.

AU (Almost Uncirculated) (Almost new) These will be much the same as a "new" note, except for a single fold or several corner folds.

CU (Crisp Uncirculated) No trace of circulation. Can have centering problems, pin holes, counting smudges, wrinkles, close margins, or a corner tip fold (not into design).

Choice CU (Choice Crisp Uncirculated) A nice new note but not quite Gem. Centering may be a little off. May show some aging, light counting smudges, or wrinkles.

Gem CU (Gem Crisp Uncirculated) An almost perfect note. Better than average margins. No aging or fading.
