=========================================

GRADING SCALE:

Grade 1+

Perfect condition. I rarely assign this grade to a can. It is more of a theoretical grade. Almost every can, no matter how wonderful the condition, will have some minor flaws upon close inspection. A tiny bit of tarnish on the side of a rim, a minuscule knick in the paint, a blemish on the seam, or any other tiny defect will rule out applying a grade of 1+. 

Grade A1+

A1+ means almost 1+ or almost perfect. 

Grade 1/1+

Grade 1/1+ cans have very few imperfections. Vast majority of can is near perfect. A few small flaws, one or two of which may be noticeable from 3 feet or more.


Grade 1

A very clean can that displays nicely from all angles. A grade 1 can may have some flaws, even many flaws upon close inspection, but not seriously detracting flaws. Some very minor humidity spotting and some scratches are acceptable in this grade. Fading, rust, holes should be absent from the body of the can in this grade.

Grade 1/1-

A very clean can, completely indoor found. A 1/1- can may have flaws but none that are very major. No holes, no significant rust pits or spots.

Grade 1-

A grade 1- can is an indoor found can with more significant imperfections.

Grade 2

A grade 2 can either is an indoor found can in the poorest condition for an indoor can or about as good as an outdoor found can gets. Noticeable spots/scratches. Larger spots, minor rust, and minor fade may exist on can.

Grade 3

Heavy spots, rust, scratches and more significant fade may exist. Very noticeable imperfections but everything on can is readable.

Grade 4

May have holes, very poor condition, at least half of can is readable.  Pitting, rust, bubbling and overall heavy wear but most of the text/graphics can be seen.

Grade 5

Very poor condition, most of can is not readable/visible. Major rust, holes, etc.
