Coin grading is very important to mark a specific coin as authentic and it’s value. An authentic coin without being graded by an official coin grading authority has a lower value as a coin that is graded by them. Coin grading is done by giving a certain code to the coin. Once graded by an official coin grading company the coin will be placed in a sealed plastic box with the grade of the coin inside the box on it.
