    Having recently been trying to go through coins my husband and I have saved randomly for the past 50 years, those given by family, as well as a large collection I was given by a dear friend, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the task. Your grading explanation, information and specific identification points is so helpful in determining, at least, which coins are good for keeping for just silver value or resale, and at best - giving adequate opportunity to evaluate a coin collection's prize pieces and overall estimated value so as to give a person confidence in correctly sorting and storing, or a first time dealing with a local appraiser. Thank you for this comprehensive overview.

    This was an excellent video. The only thing that would have been better would have been to show us a closeup of the wear on the AU coin compared to an uncirculated example, so that we can see the slight wear on the high points clearly.

    Thank you. Over been buying from a coin store and trusting them to tell me how much the coins I purchased truly costs. I began to not trust them when I’d walk in and a coin that was $30 one day, was $60 a week later. So I purchased a Red Book after watching this video and now I can study the details of a coin and know its value. I want be taken advantage of again. All because I watched this video.

    I look for nearly full details on VF and above. Worn details by degree but still visible. I want my VF coin to show nice strong overall details with no problems. The exception with PCGS is the Walking Liberty Half where the breast of Liberty can be too harshly worn to be graded VF in my opinion.

    If the bottom half of the word LIBERTY does not show up, you will not be offered fine price by a dealer. If the LIBERTY is not "sharp" you will never be offered vf money by a dealer. Be real skeptical when buying/selling coins.You could lose your ass. When i was 9 years old thank goodness i learned my lesson on a few cheap coins. As i got older and bought coins over a grand each at least i know what i'm doing. We should feel sorry for the older person starting to buy coins.
