<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 23732, member: 648&quot;]Grading coins is like anything else in life.&nbsp; The more you do it, the better you&#039;ll become at doing it. </p><p>You have to look at LOTS of coins.&nbsp; And just when you think you&#039;re tired of looking at coins, look at some more.&nbsp; If you&#039;re fave coin is morgans, buy a generic date PCGS or NGC morgan in MS63, 64, &amp; 65.&nbsp; When you learn to tell the difference between these coins you&#039;ll have an edge on many collectors (and a lot of dealers, too).&nbsp; Look at AU58 slabbed coins and learn to spot the friction/wear.&nbsp; Buy a grading book and keep it with you when you attend shows, etc.&nbsp; Take it to shops.&nbsp; Take a coin with you and ask your local dealers to give you their opinion of grade.&nbsp; Many dealers are eager to show off their knowledge.</p><p>Buy books and READ, READ, READ.&nbsp; </p><p>And just for the record I prefer NGC for most things, although varieties, circ key dates and damaged coins usually do better in ANACS holders.</p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
