<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kurisu, post: 8204026, member: 117063&quot;]Welcome!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing good images and graded coins in hand (if possible) is the best way to judge. Especially if what you&#039;re looking for are coins in exceptionally high grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the the smooth unaltered &quot;fields&quot; of highly graded coins.</p><p>Then notice the lack of contact marks on the &quot;devices&quot; (all the details of the design).</p><p>There is a lot to take in! You&#039;ll realize and learn more as you go <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>When you start to get into those amazing grades, 68, 69, you will learn that much more matters because the grading gets exponentially more detail oriented...dings on the edges, slide/scrapes you only notice from one weird angle, eye appeal, centering, strike quality...</p><p><br /></p><p>Simple tip...rotate and swivel the coin as you look...do that while the coin makes a full 360 and you&#039;re going to notice things you only see from one or two angles.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the best resources is the actual coin listing like [USER=76717]@longarm[/USER] mentioned above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another is the PCGS Photograde <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/photograde" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/photograde" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/photograde</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one I cherry picked for condition recently.</p><p>Not showing off, just want to show you a comparison coin...because I do think this one will be worth grading, hopefully...always hopefully! lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438041[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438040[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
