It will really help you learn the series, but grading is an art. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Browse Heritage and seek out the Lincolns most commonly sold in circulated grades, the 14-D, 09-S, SVDB, 31-S ......this would be a start.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are on your way to really getting comfortable when you start to split grades, and be able to spot the diff between say a 20 and a 30 or a 50 and a 58.......Thats how you will exceed in this hobby and pick up good values and exceptional coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
