I would suggest starting with Doug Smith&#039;s pages at FORVM. Be sure to read all three sections, Standard Grading, Conditions of Manufacture, and Conditions of Preservation, to get a thorough overview.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/grade.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/grade.html" rel="nofollow"><font size="4"><b>Grading and Describing Ancient Coins</b></font></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
