VG 8, or Very Good 8, is a grade used in coin collecting to indicate the condition of a coin. It signifies that the coin shows considerable wear, with details visible but flattened, and may have some scratches or blemishes. Coins graded VG 8 are still considered collectible, but their value is significantly lower than coins in better condition. This grading helps collectors assess the quality and value of a coin before purchase.
