<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 24877947, member: 93888&quot;]Hey hey and happy friday all.&nbsp; I did some searching here but couldn&#039;t come up with what I&#039;m looking for, probably my searching ninja skills are rusty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway - I&#039;m looking to be better at identifying a cleaned coin, grading, and so on.&nbsp; I wondered if anyone has some suggestions on good sources of information to learn and/or practice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m familiar with PCGS&#039;s site which is great if you have a coin in hand and want to compare it to find the grade.&nbsp; I&#039;d like more than that, I&#039;d like to have the knowledge to pick a coin up and have a reasonably good guess at the grade and if it&#039;s been harshly cleaned, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said - I don&#039;t really feel the need to be good enough to decipher an MS65 from a MS66.&nbsp; Frankly I&#039;d be happy with just landing in the proper &quot;letter grade&quot;&nbsp; AG, G, F, VF, XF, and so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Online sources I can read are great, books are great as well especially if they can be easily had used at a good price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hit me with suggestions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
