<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 7320514, member: 19165&quot;]The most basic is something like this: <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/how-united-states-coins-are-graded" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/how-united-states-coins-are-graded" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/news/how-united-states-coins-are-graded</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also find that a picture reference is incredibly useful. PCGS has a Photograde site that has pictures of every series in every grade: <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>Now, if you want a book to lay this all out, someone has already mentioned the ANA grading guide - it has word descriptions and pictures of every series in every grade. There is a paper copy of Photograde as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want a book to explain what the terms mean and how to evaluate them (strike, luster, wear, etc.).... I&#039;m sure someone can recommend a really good book on that topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
