kitkat1858 Valued Member Canada 371 Posts	Posted 07/23/2011 7:10 pm Hello, Does anyone know why the Charlton Standard Grading Guide is no longer being publised. It is a very useful book that every collector should own. Are there any other sources for Canadian/Maritime coins that go through every grade in as much detail as Charlton? Thanks!

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/23/2011 8:18 pm The one you reference is the most recent edition. It is a great guide for circ grades up to EF or so. If you are looking for MS references, this guide does not address those grades. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 01:08 am From the 1965 edition; Quote: The term "Almost Uncirculated" is not listed in the standard catalogues,although widely used in price lists.The term really means a good "Extremely Fine," and is frowned on by conservative collectors.It is sometimes called "About Uncirculated," and was in the past designated by that much-abused term "Uncirculated with cabinet friction." Such coins show only the slightest wear on the high spots,generally in the form of the absence of mint lustre.Mint lustre remains on the unworn portions of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
