The Art and Science of Grading Coins - by Jason Poe

[physics-fan3.14]

My book is available for sale now on Amazon.

 

Grading coins is the single most important skill for a coin collector to have. Plenty of books will show you pictures of coins in various grades, and ask you to match the coin to a picture. Very few books go through each facet of grading and explain them in depth, in easy to understand terms that even a novice can understand. There is plenty of science involved – but there is also an art to the skill of grading. This book will help you piece together each component: surfaces, luster, strike, wear, contact marks, and eye appeal. Beginners and advanced students of numismatics alike will learn something from The Art and Science of Grading Coins.

 

This book is based off my series of What You Need to Know posts here on the forums, and has been 5 years in the making.

 

The book is "print-on-demand," which means that Amazon will print a copy just for you, when you order it.

Thanks guys, let me know how you like it.

 

And it would be awesome if y'all could write reviews on Amazon, to let other people know how good it is

Bump. Might be too late for Christmas, but you can still buy one for yourself!

If Santa didn't give you this book for Christmas, you should definitely buy it for yourself!

Thanks! (Almost) all of the pictures in the book are of coins that I own, and a lot of the pictures were done by Bob Campbell.

I just received my book Jason and it is very well written and easy to understand. Thanks for the many hours you have spent on this project and hopefully this will not be your last book!! I recommend your book to everyone in the Numismatic community! Have a Happy New Year!!

Got my copy in the mail yesterday and am looking forward to reading and learning it.

 

The first page in the book is a very nice dedication that reads:

 

Dedicated to all my friends on the NGC Forum,

  who inspire me,

    teach me,

      and stimulate me as a collector.

 

Congratulations Jason.
