<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TyCobb, post: 3769329, member: 99137&quot;]I asked questions and recommendations: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grading-books.347124/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grading-books.347124/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grading-books.347124/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost everything related to grading is going to fall into wheat examples. But you will get the general idea for the LMC because you can see the high points wear and if the steps start to go then you know it is wearing pretty good. The obverse is a good start though. </p><p><br /></p><p>It takes time, but the reason I wanted to do it, is if I am looking at thousands of coins, I would like to learn something while I do it. It really just takes time and hands on experience. If I could give some more tips I would, but I am barely there as I just started. The only real thing to remember is that the Lincoln design changes between decades and so you get to learn how to read his profile and what is worn vs slight design change. No book will have all variations of him and you just need to look at mint examples to determine what it should properly look like.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the LMC, but it will probably be another decade or two before more attention is given to them. For now, wheats are still the main subject of the cent in grading literature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
