You can cherrypick lots of nice coins in shops, and at shows.
If it was marked $65 and thrown in the bin for $10, though, there may be something wrong with it. Perhaps it has a rim bump or has been cleaned.
To grade a coin, you have to look at the whole coin. If you post pictures here of the obverse and reverse, we can help you.
In the meantime, you might want to pick up a book on grading. If you don't want to lay out the cash, you can probably pick up some books at your local library. I recommend to all new collectors that they get some knowledge before buying too many coins. The more you know, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
Happy collecting!
