<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3643737, member: 31533&quot;]One thing that is nearly free is to go to coin shows and look at graded coins. You don&#039;t have to buy them but you might if you like the coin enough. It&#039;s not like going to a library and reading a book, because you don&#039;t just sit down and really examine them. But you can start seeing the differences in grades when you look at the coins and try to see why they were graded that way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also actually free is going to the posts here to GTG (guess the grade) and really start looking at them, and interacting. It does start to click after awhile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also PCGS has standards for grading and they are posted on the web. So look for them. There are also some good books about grading. </p><p><br /></p><p>The old adage applies: Buy the book before the coin. So if you have some money that is starting to say &#039;spend me&#039;, you might be ready to buy a book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
