<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2177773, member: 70703&quot;]All the above suggestions are great, but one of our own forum members has written a book titled &quot;The Art and Science of Grading Coins. I&#039;ve recently finished reading this book and I have to say that what it lacks in color photography, is made up with a few chapters that cover VERY important, less discussed aspects to grading a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chapter on Luster, in particular, has helped propel my understanding of what a true mint state coin is all about. It also helps to understand wear on a coin, which is KEY in determining mint state. I actually owe the forum and author a book review on the book, but its a matter of finding the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>This thread here is where you can get information on the book. It&#039;s only $16.89...for me the price is well worth what&#039;s inside.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.262769/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.262769/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.262769/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
