The latter covers more series, but <u>Making the Grade</u>&#039;s photos are <i>vastly</i> superior -- larger, higher-resolution, and therefore much clearer and more useful. (I still usually end up checking against both sources, though -- since photos vary so widely, and since <i>coins</i> can vary significantly within a grade, the more sources, the better.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
