The Grading Factor
How to classify a coin's condition
By Arlyn G. Sieber
Grading is one of the most important factors in buying and selling coins as
collectibles. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most controversial. Since the early

issues led to the founding of the American Numismatic Association, and
The Nu-
