5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Available On Coin Grading But Could Be Better, October 13, 2006

By	Andy Rosenblum (Wilton, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent resource book for grading coins, however I feel that it would be far more useful if all of the photographs used in the description of coins, were in high definition glossy color. I realize that doing so would likely double or triple the price of the book, but it would be highly useful if the photographs of coins were of the same quality as is the description of them. I gave this book 5 stars because I believe that it is the best one available on the market, however, if another publisher comes out with an all color, high definition photograph coin grading book, this one would likely take a back seat to that one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but the best, May 29, 2007

By	the Critic "bookluver" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

If you want the true grade and able to judge the true value of a coin, you need to be able to grade according to ANA standards yourself. There is no better book than this, with clear explanations and pictures. I buy and sell a lot of coins, and I use this book many times a week and recommend it to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great., March 20, 2006

By	Ken Frechman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Terrific book and an improvement over previous editions. Still, I think it is a SERIOUS oversight that 4 very commonly used grades, VF25, VF35, AU53 and AU58 are not covered.
