<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3495558, member: 31533"]If you have the resources, and are only really looking at one or a couple types, you might want to, as cheaply as possible, get a grading set. I've done this to some degree and it can help. Basically, say for Washington clad quarters (omitting the ones that tend not to be minted strongly), pick up one in each grade from 61-68. That's eight coins that will give you visual examples on real coins that a tpg has graded. Stick with blast white types, so you don't have toning confounding things. Use them with a grading book to try to identify the 'flaws' that get them put into a grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>At shows, sometimes you might find some cheap ones, there are always a number selling of modern ones in low to mid-MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
