Very worn, but all major design elements are clear, if faint. Little if any central detail.
VG-8 means "Very Good" and scores an 8 on a scale from 1 being barely recognizable to 70 being absolute perfection. Coins grading VG-8 are usually very worn, but most of the text on the coin is still readable.
That grade is a very low grade for a coin. Coins are graded on a scale of 1 to seventy with good being 4. It is almost the worst condition a coin can be in.
MS-65 is the grade of the coin or how good the conditionof the coin is in. It means mint state 65. The order of the grades are AG, G, VG, F, VF, EF(also known as XF), AU, MS. These stand for Almost Good, Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Extra Fine, Almost Uncirculated, and Mint State. When coin collectors want to show a more exact grade they will put in a number like 65. Uncirculated coins are graded from MS-60 through MS-70. An MS 60 coin has not been "used" but it may have minor imperfections such as a weak strike, toning (color change), bag-marks from being shipped, etc. As the grade number goes higher, less imperfections are allowed and an MS 70 coin is considered perfect in every way.
There are very many countries that use a dollar as its currency unit and have a half-dollar coin. You have not specified which country you mean and so it is not possible to give an answer.
In coin collecting, it means Brilliant Uncirculated, a very nice coin, but not as good as a Proof coin.
It stands for "Very Good" and is a numismatic term of art describing the condition of a coin. Confusingly enough, "Very Good" condition is what most people would think of as fairly worn down.
It means that the nickel has either never been in circulation or in circulation for a very short time. Because of this the coin is still in very good condition. It shouldn't have very many scratches or other ware on it that occurs when a coin is in circulation. So pretty much it''s just a coin in very good condition.

There are only two possibilities: - look for it in books and catalogus (library!) - send someone a good photo by email, both sides of the coin. My email: van.de.leest.m@skynet.be
It always has its face value. To be a collectible, most have to be in very good condition.CorrectionAnything you can do at home to clean a coin will almost always reduce or destroy its collector value. If the coin has a lot of dirt and crud on it, you can use a soft cloth and distilled water, but any chemicals or abrasives will damage the surface. Also note that the term "very good" describes a specific category of wear on a coin, with other categories being good, fine, very fine, and so on. Some coins are collectible in merely good condition (very worn) while others only become collectible if they're uncirculated or nearly uncirculated.
A very good conductor.
The term "Very Good" (with caps) has a specific meaning in numismatic grading; it actually means a coin that is just above the lowest collectible grade of wear. If that's what you're referring to, Numismedia quotes a 1907-D Barber half at $13 (retail) in VG. If you're using the term as a generic description, that might be closer to VF, which means slight but obvious wear. In that case the coin is quoted at $79 retail, so you see that the meaning of the term is very important.
