Visual V- with scuffing, scratches and play wear. Still has shine. NOTICE: each side has a small laminate chip on the edge that does NOT effect play (see pics)

VJM Grading for 78rpm records-

N    As new and unplayed.

N-   Nearly mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+  Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.  

E    Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.  

E-   Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+  is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderated but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V    Moderate wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V-   Quit playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

G+  Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G    Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.     

G-   Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F     Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.  

P     Unplayable.
