<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 661480, member: 16994&quot;]It&#039;s not something you learn quickly. The easiest way to do it is to focus on one or two series for a while and really really learn to grade them. It&#039;s like a riding a bike, once you get it you don&#039;t really forget. Once you feel that you have mastered a particular series then move on to another one. Learning a new series gets easier once you get a few under your belt as well. The references mentioned are good for basic grading. Once you master the circulated grades move on to mint state which is learned by examining lots and lots of graded examples of the piece that you are studying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
