jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 8:58 pm go to Amazon or half.com and look up coin grading books and you should find a few there. Photograde is a good book to get you started. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 04:37 am James Rudy's book Photograde is pretty darn good, but the photos are in B&W only, unless they updated it since my old paperback copy from the early 1980's. Still for it's age a ton of great information is contained in it. James Halperin (of Heritage, Steve Ivy back then) authored "How to Grade U.S. Coins", upon which the grading standards of the two leading third-party grading services PCGS and NGC were ultimately based. It is now out of print, but often found inexpensively on the used book market. Have you tried the PCGS website (also an iPhone app) http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/ Free and quite nice!

You can blow up pics, the size of your computer screen, of the graded coins and the price paid current and past. As a paid computer source PCGS Coin Facts is the greatest for coin info.
