When you look at the PCGS site, there is a section called "COINFACTS".
http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/When you click on that area it will show you coins of what ever year you need to compare with. It shows three grades. Red, Red Brown and brown. On the same site there is a grading guide that is helpful also. From the home page click on resources on the top title bar. On the lower part of the page you see another box below called "Grading resource". Click on
Photogradehttps://www.PCGS.com/photograde/Then find the type of coin you want to search, and there is a grading system that grades according to coin circulation wear from 70 to 1. &0 the best grade, MS (Mint State Range to MS-60) then the circulated grades. But keep in mind if your coin has a scratch/dent/hole in it/edge damage it doesn't qualify. The coin need to be free from blemishes. Other wise it is just a cull. Worth about 90% less than the graded price ranges in other books. You might enjoy it.
