<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 83983, member: 705&quot;]That isn&#039;t the way you would want to go....PCGS and NGC and any other Co. that grade coins mess up and it has happened many times that someone will get a MS61 coin and send it back in and get MS62 or such....You need to look at as many coins as you can on auctions at shows at dealers and such and that will be better than any book IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go alot by how many marks and nicks are on the coin....are they on a &quot;Hot&quot; place....for Franklins the face and bell would be HOT on Morgan Dollars it would be face and eagle....on Barber Coinns its mostly the face....also how does the coin look....does it have lots of luster??...or does it have dark toning....dark toning can lower the grade for me but white luster and some pretty (I said it...now I can&#039;t take that back....pretty) toning might raise the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes time and I&#039;m in no way an expert....but I have been told I&#039;ve come along way in the past 5 years.....I only hope that in the next 5+ years I can learn more and help more people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
