    Ok so I'm sure this question has probably been asked a thousand times...but I'm lazy, so sue me;) Anyway, I have the redbook, so what is the best book for me to get to learn how to grade coins more accurately? Right now I'm just kinda going by the redbook, but to me it's not in depth enough.

    The best general book is probably the ANA ( American Numismatic Assoc.) Guiding Standards book edit. by Ken Bressett and published by Whitman.

    I like the "PCGS Guide to Grading and Counterfeit Detection." That being said, I also have (and use) the ANA book.

    I am surprised that no one mentioned photograde

    There is definitely something questionable in that that signature line....
