<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8397781, member: 105571&quot;]You&#039;re welcome.&nbsp; If you&#039;re going to collect early copper, you might find it beneficial (but not absolutely necessary) to buy a copy of EAC&#039;s grading Guide.&nbsp; It explains the criteria and rationale but it is distinctly different from current market grading.&nbsp; Nevertheless, you can expand your knowledge base considerably by digesting the reasoning behind the EAC grading.&nbsp; You don&#039;t have to agree with those standards but understanding them will likely enrich your collecting.&nbsp; I know it did mine.&nbsp; But then, I tend to buy relevant books before I buy the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked on EBay and Amazon and found only one used copy on Amazon for $50 plus $4 shipping.&nbsp; It was originally $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the April issue of Penny-Wise, the EAC journal, there was an ad for new copies for $55 postpaid.&nbsp; The seller was Gammill Numismatics:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="mailto:Ron@Gammillnumismaticsllc.com">Ron@Gammillnumismaticsllc.com</a></p><p>662-736-3222</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no connection to either seller whatsoever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
