<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3001705, member: 71723&quot;]For newbs, I recommend heartily the <i>Grading Coins Today</i> correspondence course. I just rescued my diploma from when I took it, from my old house yesterday. The date on the diploma was February 1, 1997. Getting old, I am.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no doubt the course has changed a bit or four in 21 years, but that&#039;s okay. Then, after <b><i>that</i></b> course, do <i>Grading Mint State Coins. </i>It is a whole different art than grading in the circulated grades, which is a slightly more exact science when you think about it. Mint state coin grading <b><i>has changed</i></b> significantly in the last 21 years - I can state that with zero hesitation. I haven&#039;t taken that course formally, but I do own the ANA&#039;s video for it&nbsp; (VHS - being digitized literally as I type this, with a Sony video to DVD burner. After it&#039;s done there, it gets &quot;ripped&quot; from the DVD-RW and added to my iTunes library).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
