Here are a couple places to start:

https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-gradin...ading-scale/
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/She...?wprov=sfla1

There are books devoted to coin grading, as well. That looks like a nice '98 WAM, but I would not recommend having it graded. It is very likely the costs will surpass its value.

Nice find, but no where near TPG grade worthy. It need to be at least MS66 to justify all the costs involved for a TPG.

The coin does look better in person, I'm working on getting a lens for my DSLR to get better photos.

Nice find! I found a 99 WAM that is approx the same grade with that streaking. Came back from PCGS as corrosion. I wouldn't send.

I thought that streaking was from die wear?
