[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3200486, member: 77814"]Remember that grading is based on "perfection of surfaces and letters, etc" Perfection defined as "perfect", not "pretty dinged up but still looks good" If you peruse this website [url]https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/[/url] of the Jefferson nickels page .. [url]https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Jefferson/Grades[/url] you can peruse each grade. Try to identify the "impefections" of each lesser grade, or if you start at the bottom of the next one up. You won't be able to at first, but you should be able to see the difference of multiple grades difference especially the wider the grading variance. Then you can start comparing your coin to one of the grades there. Don't forget to look at every scratch no matter how small. Think of it as you are buying a brand new car from the factory. Are you going to look for one that has no scratches, or it won't matter if it's scratched up a bit and pay the same for either one?[/QUOTE]
