    Nahhh - you can buy 'em online at a hundred different places. The full title is - The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins. And while I always recommend that everyone read everything they can about grading and utilize any and all resources - pay the most attention to this book.

    By the way, there is an entire section on coin grading in Numismatic Resources.

    Nice clean example.. Sorry for being a little late on this :) I couldn't find the thread with the forum button missing! BTW - high grade IKES had flown past previous auction prices this past week by almost a 1/3rd at the Heritage Milwaukee ANA sale.

    I like Ike myself and think that his high grade mint state coins are undervalued. IMHO, they are much more astecially appealing than the Kennedy halves.

    I agree with GD... I said 66 right off the bat, although being a silver Ike, I wouldn't say it impossible that it only got a 65

    I have a lot of trouble with the Ikes, Washington quarters, and Franklins. Once they show a little wear, everything looks F/VF to me.

    Toss in Peace Dollars and you have my list of coins that I can't grade worth a darn.
    I think EVERYONE has a particular series or series' that they have trouble with. Some just won't admit it.

    This is one of the reasons I don't pursue these coins. I buy raw 99.9% of the time and if I can't reasonably grade it what's the use?

    Of course the few Ikes that I DO own are from Mint Sets. If they aren't unc then there's a real problem.

    Well, I've worked on the IKe website but I need to add two more I have and need better photo's of. I was hoping to get a couple of high grade MS Ikes but they just sold for more than I care to pay for Eisenhower Dollars.

    So those two additions will be my complete set for a while.

    The new section is at http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/ikes.html

    Very nice website. Well done and thanks for shaing!

    In case you are intersted, there's a brand new edition (2nd) of the Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollars. It is a great source of info on the oft-overlooked series.

    Hope this helps...mike
