<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 755373, member: 2972&quot;]I would suggest the OP tries to learn to grade by seeing as many coins in-hand as possible -- as grading from photos is a crapshoot at best, and learning from them even more difficult.&nbsp; Remember the difference in mint state grades is often a result of luster, and photos typically do a very poor job of displaying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, if I were the OP and only could view photos, I would spend all my waking hours staring at Heritage and Teletrade archive photographs of the grades you&#039;re interested in.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a while your eyes will become trained in what the TPGs look for, but be very careful as photographs often make hits (i.e. little hits and nicks) look worse than they are in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
