<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3265062, member: 71723"]This one (Official ANA Yadda Yadda, <b><i><u>7th</u></i></b> Edition) is fine for circulated grades. Grading ALL mint state coins is part art, part science, and part "dark arts". NO book has it nailed, NONE! Now consider 19th century coins. It's, like, 80% "dark arts", because it entails a multi-axis analysis of 5 or so factors, and sometimes they work in concert, but often in opposition. If that sounds scary, congratulations, you understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
