<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 795818, member: 13016&quot;]If you&#039;re just starting out, perhaps you should borrow a book from your local library, or use a reliable internet source for initial grading.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A top-tier TPS, PCGS, has published a photographic grading guide for certain series of coins on the internet. That&#039;s certainly worth checking out, because 1) It&#039;s free and 2) You can see pictures of the coins to correspond with their grades. It&#039;s not the end-all and be-all, but it is a good place to start.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you do borrow a book, the &quot;Redbook&quot; is a decent beginner&#039;s guide. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you&#039;re looking for an advanced guide, I would also recommend the &quot;PCGS Guide to Grading and Counterfeit Detection.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
