<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish, post: 489905, member: 6034&quot;]As everyone says, grading is subjective.&nbsp; Grading early copper doubly so.&nbsp; If you&#039;re like me, you&#039;ll find that the lower circulated grades are easy and the higher you go the more ambiguous things become.&nbsp; Are you grading by EAC standards or commercial standards?&nbsp; They start about the same but diverge significantly.&nbsp; Either would be well-served by getting copies of the Walt Husak and both Ted Naftzger sale catalogs.&nbsp; Both sales were this year, and both are chock-full of large cents.&nbsp; If, like myself, you enjoy the little half sisters, get a copy of the Ray Rouse and Colonel Ellsworth collection sales, which were also this year.&nbsp; They&#039;re not as full of material but are still well worth having.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also heard good things about the discussions of grading in Sheldon&#039;s book Penny Whimsy, though I do not own a copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;d like to discuss further, just PM me and we&#039;ll stop threadjacking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
