How to grade coins.

I'm sorry if this is repetative. I know I saw a thread at one point or other about this but I can't find it. Is there a comprehensive book on this subject that is up to date and universally accepted. I feel the need to get into this phase of collecting. Thanks, George

Don't buy any books yet. I can send you something that will be more than adequate for your needs at no charge. Just PM me.

Thanks Scott. It figures that it would be right under my nose and I do not bother to look.

It's np, I asked the same question about grading a long time ago.

If I wanted to know how to grade I would go online to websites for the grading/authenticating/slabing sites and read the criteria and average all the descriptions: F VF EF UNC60 UNC63 UNC65 UNC67's. I know PCGS posts the grade ranges, so does one of the others.
