<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevo, post: 1143745, member: 24781&quot;]I have finished reading the first six chapters of this book, and&nbsp; have to&nbsp; put this in the &quot;must have&quot; category for all collectors regardless of experience.&nbsp; Q David Bowers is one of the worlds most prominent numismatists and his no nonsense approach shows you the reader how to acquire a keen eye helping you to grade properly and make good purchases. The beginning of the book touches bases such as the importance and history of grading, to understanding the surfaces of coins, as well as the &quot;hush hush&quot; topic of coin cleaning and conservation in our hobby. The grading section covers each series and explains its history, what to look for in strike and sharpness, as well as availability. He then explains what to look for in each grade from uncirculated on down to fair for some issues. Each section is accompanied by color pictures for each grade. In my opinion this book is a breath of fresh air compared to other grading books available. Every collector should own this book![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
