THE STANDARD GRADING SYSTEMTaken from \"the Currier & Ives Value Guide\"
Dealers and collectors alike need to talk the same language when evaluating the condition of a print. Over the years a conscience formed as to what constituted a print in a certain condition. There are basically five categories in which a print may fall,Mint (10), Fine (9 or 8), Very Good (7 or 6), Good (5 or 4), Poor (3 or less)
Mint – Pristine (10)- This lithograph is on its full uncut sheet of paper, the impression is strong, the original colors are bright and fresh, the paper a light even patina. There are no defects to be found either within the image area or with the sheet of paper. In short the print almost looks like it was made yesterday.
Fine (9 or 8)– This lithograph has a sharp impression, bright colors, there are no defects within the image. The sheet of paper is of a light mellow tone and may have slight margin discoloration. The sheet of paper, if reduced in size, will still have margins of at least 2\" for large, 1 1/2\" for medium, and 1\" for small folios.
Very Good (7 or 6)–This lithograph has a crisp impression, good coloring, there are no defects within the image except for a small non distracting area.. The sheet of paper has some toning and or slight discoloration, there may be a short repaired margin tear but not close to the image. The sheet of paper, if reduced in size, will still have margins of at least 1 1/2\" for large, 1\" for medium and 3/4\" for small folios.
Good (5 or 4)– This lithograph has a clear impression, nice colors, image defects may include a short tear, some discoloration, foxing or scuff mark. The sheet of paper is toned with other defects. The sheet, if reduced in size, will still have margins of at least 3/4\" for large, 1/2\" for medium and 3/8\" for small folios.
Poor (3 to 1)– This lithograph may have a poor image, muted colors, image defects may include a number of problems not allowed in the other grades such as being folded, a tear longer than an inch, dark back board stain, knot hole burn, scuffs or gouge marks, heavy water staining, insect holes, etc. The sheet of paper may have the above defects and be very brittle to the touch or disintegrating from acid content. The sheet of paper, if reduced in size, may have little or no margins.
Of course there is always the exception. What if the print exceeds the requirements for one grade but does not quite meet the next higher? The question also applies to a print that except for this problem fits in this grade. Rather than try to develop another grade some find it easier to note the difference.
