Spend some time learning how to grade, Learn what gets you a gem + grade on a coin, and what distinguishes a bag mark from circulation contact. One thing I can tell you is that Luster is the determining factor between a common MS63/64 and aGem 65/66.</p><p>The luster on a 67 or better is significant compared to a gem. Now you have die stages to factor, contact VS bag ,marks and how many of them or focal. Lets not forget eye appeal, on a blast white coin that is usually associated with die stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't be discouraged, dive into books, look at graded coins in hand not photos, but most of all don't worry about grading they change the criteria to stay in business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
