[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 125882, member: 705"]The problem is with the grading standers that you posted....it doesn't help anyone grade. One stander can't help anyone grade all the coins...you don't grade a Morgan Dollar like you do a Barber dime....and you don't grade a 1881-S Morgan dollar like you do a 1900-O Morgan dollar. Each coin is graded by itself....this can't be learned by just going by the set of rules you posted.... I'm still no good at grading....I still have lots of problems and tons to learn....but grading is a art that takes time to learn....I think the best way to learn is to read as much as you can about grading and also grade tons of coins hands-on. As Roy said....each Grading Company uses its own grading standers.....But it can be easly seen that NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ICG grade the best....their grading is like the hobby grades whereas PCI and SGS and SEGS don't.....sometimes you can find a really nice coin in any slab....but for the most part you should stay with PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG.
