[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 83977, member: 4097"]Morning, I have a question for the experts. I have read PCGS's [I]Coin Grading and Counterfeit Dectection[/I] Second Edition by Travers and Danreuther. I have also taken a quick browse through [I]The Official American Numismati Association Grading Standards For United States Coins[/I] by K. Bressett. Well I see what they are getting at, and trying to say, but the samples are too small for me. When I look at a similar coin, honestly, I can tell an MS60, but MS61-MS65 generally all looks the same to me. Can anyone recommend a place that I can get at a reasonable cost a set of the same coin graded by PCGS, or NGC in MS60-MS65 each grade. Maybe if I can hold it in my hand.. and see their physical differences I can tell better. In the mean time, I'll just be putting everything in my collection that isn't graded as an MS63.. Blah :cool:[/QUOTE]
