It depends on the coin and the grading tier you decide to submit it under. Grading fees are determined what tier you choose and the value of the coin. The more expensive the coin, the more it cost. But it can basically range anywhere from say $10 if you get a bulk discount to several hundred dollars - per coin.

As for the old standards, you'd have to read Brown & Dunn's grading standards. They were the first, published back in 1949. Not having a copy at my fingertips right now they went something like this - AG - G - F - VF - XF - Unc - and that's it.

Yeah, I remember those when I was younger, alot younger. In fact when I got back into collecting I was shocked to find this new grading system. As someone said above, comic books and baseball cards had been done so the grading of coins was just a matter of time, and money.

My 1971 Red Book lists them like that. Do you recall what year it changed?

Say...it says here I can buy a "Unc" 1916-d Mercury dime for $675 (WooHoo!)

Humm....my 1962 15th Rdition Yeoman's lists the 1916D for a meager $400.
