N (78) As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets
E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V++(78) is an above average condition 78 in which light scratches, scuffs and general use have dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is light and listening is enjoyable. There may be a few minor ticks and pops. Surface noise is low.
V+ (78) V+ is an average condition 78 in which light scratches, scuffs and general use have dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate and playing is free from distortion. There are a few minor ticks and pops. Surface noise present but still well in the background.
V (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
