[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1873446, member: 22585"]I'll just add another thing to consider when trying to become proficient at grading. That being, weak strikes/worn dies vs wear. Being a Jefferson collector, this is a very important thing to consider. Some may see a nickel and right away assume it's circulated, sometimes very circulated. However, the luster is booming and unbroken. this immediately rules it out as being circulated. What's my point? Luster plays a HUGE factor in grading. Especially between AU/MS and then the higher grades. For example: [IMG]http://cdn3.sharemyco.in/shared_8509bdd9675e56df877be1f2cd917f5c585261d0f3f33a7.jpg[/IMG] That is all, carry on.[/QUOTE]
