<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1481340, member: 26302&quot;]You want a great way to learn about coins? Go get a ANA guidebook on grading, and go to the bank and get a bag of cents or nickels. Don&#039;t worry, you won&#039;t be ou the money since you will returning most of it. Spend a day or two going over every single coin and grade it according to the book. Make piles, (G, VG, F, etc). Then, when you are done, go over each pile to see if you still agree with the grade given. When you are done, take one of each date/mm from the highest grading pile, or just send them all back to the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning to grade circulated coins is a skill you learn by practice. We all had to do it, and this is about the fastest way I know how to teach it. Grade 1000 coins of the same series all at once, and you will start to get pretty good at it. Most of this skill will translate to other coins as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its how I learned to grade 35+ years ago. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
