<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BALD SPARTAN, post: 908179, member: 22484&quot;]This was one of the first books I purchased when I began collecting in 2007 and I has helped me learn alot as to the way coins are graded and viewed in our great hobby. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to better acquaint themselves with grading coins.</p><p><img src="http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv45/pantheriaphotos/100_4000.jpg?t=1275585012" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It has alot of very helpful photos of coins to assist with grading any level coin and points out where wear will be most noticable on the obverse and reverse. The book also gives a general description of what to expect when looking at the coin in any given grade.</p><p><span style="color: Red">edited</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In addition it breaks down a coin into the primary and secondary focal areas to give the novice grader a good base as to what they should be looking for when grading or buying a coin.</p><p><span style="color: red">edited</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is one of my favorites and I use it alot as I am far from being a sufficient grader of coins as of yet. Anyways tought this might help anyone like me who enjoys trying to educate themselves on grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
