How to grade coins for dummies? Does anyone know of any guides online for grading coins that a novice could use?

Re: How to grade coins for dummies? I like books that have large, colorful illustrations of each grade of every type coin. For example, one can learn much by viewing a side-by-side comparison of XF and F Buffalo nickels. Identifying the high point on a coin is crucial!! Watch out for the sliders. And be sure to get a good loupe or magnifying glass. Grading coins is an art. Good luck!

Re: How to grade coins for dummies? Just go to a good local book store or to a coin show and a couple of good quality paper-back books will be available at a reasonable cost. Will probably be a couple of bucks cheaper at a coin show.
