My older edition of Photograde has some pictures for Connecticut and New Jersey coppers, but not for the Massachusetts coppers or Fugio cent. I have viewed many of these coins on ebay to get some idea of what criteria should be used for grading --- wear on the word CENT on the Massachusetts coppers and wear on the words UNITED STATES or WE ARE ONE on the Fugio cents. Are there any online guiides I can look at? Thank you.

I research prior sales on Teletrade and Heritage. You can get an idea of what grading companies consider the features deserving various grades.

One of the foremost authorities on Fugios and other Colonial currency is St. Louis' own Eric Newman. He created the variety listings for Fugios and has a reference book on the subject which has variety info, history and probably grading info as well.
