Quality and rarity of the title
Evaluation systemThe international evaluation system classifies the quality of conservation in 6 categories : UNC, EF, VF, F, VG et G sometimes annotated with a + or - to indicate an intermediate state. When this is the case, we add annotations that can influence the price. The evaluation is only done on the title coat with the exception of the coupons. The latter do not intervene in determining the state of conservation. A list of the most common is below. For example, the same actions canceled or not will indeed be appreciated differently by collectors.
Annotations commonly usedh.c. : Hole Cancelled : canceled by perforations p.c. : Pen Cancelled : canceled in the bic, usually canceled marked in large pi.h. : Pin Holes : presence of pinholes pu.h. : Punch Holes : presence of 2 drill holes usually in the left or right margin s.c. : Stamp Cancelled : canceled by stamps st.c. : Strip Cancelled : canceled on roulette s.o.f. : Stamp On Face : presence of a single stamp on the mantle ss.o.f. : StampS On Face : presence of several stamps on the mantle
Rarity of the titleThe title's rarity classification is based on international experience since 1984 and on a very large database as well as reference and auction catalogs around the world in recent decades.
Note, however, that scripophily is a field of collection that is too young to be able to offer guarantees and that new discoveries are always possible which would change the raritya classification of a title.
