My dad has been collecting since 2016. I had no idea just how detailed grading was. Thanks for the educational video.

Very helpful, right to the point. I was at a coin show years ago and this collector/dealer had one of the most beautiful Morgan dollar I asked to see it, it was graded MS 64 by PCGS, after looking at the coin I asked how do you get to an MS 65, he reached down and pulled out a PCGS MS 65 and there was a difference in the 2 coins the 65 was spectacular. Since then I started trying to learn more about grading UNC coins. Your presentation was very helpful to my education on this subject. Thanks for sharing this information. I would love to come to the school you mentioned but it's a long way from Pensacola Florida and I ain't no spring chicken anymore.

Well.... you guys will really love my collection. Starting at 1887 etc. And in close to the best of condition. Been holding them since the 60's. So many different coins to auction off. So everyone have a great day.

One of the best videos I've ever seen thus far on youtube. Very educational and of importance to me. In fact the methods used in describing grade types and coin observations were very enjoyable. Glad to say when it comes to eye appeal in grading, PCGS shares exactly/ very close to the same perceptions I have as a fairly new collector. It was encouraging and of great interest as to where to add and where to deduct on a grade based on toning and or luster. Please note as a viewer I would love to see a video on detecting cleaning and or polishing and how to spot them carefully and how (details) and maybe even damaged coins fit the scales and where do they stand etc Thank you very much

Just getting into the hobby; I will listen and watch for now.

PCGS, in my opinion, is the base value of knowledge in coin collecting.  I only collect their graded coins.  Thank you for the basic information on grading. worth while watching.
