<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1139998, member: 112&quot;]To help get over that problem you first have to realize that no two types of coins have the same kind of luster. What I mean by that is this - there are many different kinds of luster and no two of them have the same look. Morgans, Peace, Walkers, Frankies, Wahingtons, Jeffs, Seated - they all have different kinds of luster. A completely different look than the any of the other coins have.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why you have to become experienced with each different type of coin in order to grade them accurately. You can&#039;t look at a Peace dollar or a Frankie and be thinking about the luster on a Morgan when you grade them, or you will get the grade wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be able to grade any series with any hope of consistent accuracy you first have to have examined hundreds of thousands of those particular coins. That&#039;s why it has always been said that anybody can learn to grade if they have two things - a good book on grading and at least 20 years of experience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Minor correction - he was never President.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
