<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Art_Welling, post: 9893, member: 639&quot;]I&#039;d like to learn more about grading coins.&nbsp; I know I need more books... so far all I have is the Krause &#039;world&#039; book and it&#039;s great, but I expect it&#039;ll take me years to learn enough, if ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was just given (sometimes my kids REALLY impress me!) some Morgans.</p><p>A few are in what I would call pretty great condition.&nbsp; Would anyone like to help me learn more about grading by telling me what points to look for on these?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m adding pictures in the best detail I can take them right now.&nbsp; They were taken on white paper and in the sun, so the pictures should be very unforgiving. </p><p><br /></p><p>I notice the 1879 is graying, and not at all shiney. I also see good detail in the hair, on the rim, and on the breat feathers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1901o is rather shiney, appearing to be almost white in area&#039;s.&nbsp; I also notice some wear to the breast feathers and hair.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are two of half a dozen I was given.&nbsp; There are also some 1921&#039;s that appear almost frosty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
