When you add a coin to your collection on the site you can choose the ‘’grade'' VG, F, VF, XF, AU and UNC. 

Except for maybe 1 or 2 none of my coins have been professionally graded, however i would like to be able to guess/estimate the quality of my coins myself. 

So could someone perhaps give me a ballpark explanation of each grade? (so i have a rough guide to go by.)

The old article How to grade my coin has at least some visual aids in respect to grading.
