Dealer’s Guide On How to Grade Coins

I purchased a bunch of Walking Liberty Half Dollars at the last coin show I had a dealer table setup. This video features grading these coins and looking for coin varieties and errors. There are a few Morgan Dollars included in this video (another dealer purchased) so we can grade and look for VAM varieties for these as well. This video features how to approach grading coins. I hope you find this video guide on how to grade coins useful
