<p>[QUOTE=&quot;richarrb, post: 932026, member: 25618&quot;]I too am learning how to grade, I do have some coin dealers near me, so what I do is just look at typical pocket change. Then I examine with a 10x loop, get a piece of paper and cover up one side of the coin and write down or tally how many scratches,dents, hairlines or marks on each side obverse and reverse and the rim. When your count gets to high, you will learn how much wear is on your coin. It takes awhile but its a long process to learn IMO. Then I set a grade I think is appropriate double check it with a couple of grading books I have or take the coins I graded to the coin dealer that is patient and teaches me and see what he thinks. For you, you just might to try and take pictures and post them here under a thread like &quot;learning to grade example 1,2,3etc[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
