<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1436971, member: 112&quot;]I agree Mike. But you need the books to get started. You can&#039;t do with the just the books, and you can&#039;t do it just by looking at coins in hand. You need both. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;m not trying to put words into Mike&#039;s mouth, but when he says lots and lots, that means thousands of coins, if not tens of thousands. And that is for just 1 series. And you need to do the same thing for each series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures are helpful when discussing coins, and yes you can learn a lot by looking at pictures. But you will never learn to grade from looking at pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>And you must always keep in mind that every single coin is 100% unique. You can look at 100, 1000, Morgans all same date/mm and all graded MS64, and every one of them will look different.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how can 1 picture possibly tell you how to grade a coin ? That&#039;s why grading books with pictures are no good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
