Grading HELP

Do I have to buy a book for each of the coins I am collecting to get an accurate description of the attributes necessary to attain a XF (circ) grading?

I want to start sorting thru some rolls I have but the RedBook and grading guide book everyone told me to get haven't come in yet?

Are there any resources with the above information on the internet? I am looking for real specifics......

Thanks guys

What are you sorting? If indian head cents there is, but not sure about other coins.

Jefferson Nickel (1938 to the present)
Winged Liberty Head ("Mercury") Dime (1916-1945)
Roosevelt Dime (1946 to the present)
Washington Quarter with Heraldic Eagle Reverse (1932-1998)
Washington Quarter with Bicentennial Reverse (1975-1976 such coins are dated "1776-1976")
Washington State Quarters (1999-2009) (56)
Kennedy Half Dollar (1964 to the present)
Kennedy Half Dollar with Bicentennial Reverse (1975-1976 such coins are dated "1776-1976")
Eisenhower Dollar (1971-1978)
Eisenhower Dollar with Bicentennial Reverse (1975-1976 such coins are dated "1776-1976")
Susan B. Anthony Dollar (1979-1981, 1999)
