<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2295746, member: 24314&quot;]Very good thread.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have lots to add sometime later. </p><p><br /></p><p>For now, IMO Grading Coins by Photographs by Bowers is the best book on grading at the moment.&nbsp; Many photos in the ANA guide are obsolete because grading has evolved and become more liberal since its publication.&nbsp; Important: Read the introduction to the ANA book and the Bowers book - you will learn a lot quickly.&nbsp; Making the Grade should be in your library also if you wish for more photos.&nbsp; You cannot have enough books.&nbsp; PCGS has a good photo gallery on their site.&nbsp; I keep it open when I am at work.&nbsp; Join the ANA and borrow a copy of J.P Martin&#039;s grading tape.&nbsp; The tape on coin toning by R. Campbell is also a good start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
