This multi media video was made to accompany a story in the Boston Herald, you can still find the stories by searching Lincolns and coins at bostonherald.com – As a numismatist for more than 40 years I will gladly answer any US coin related questions if you post your email address, whatever you do -DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN ANY COIN!!! I have witnessed people reduce a coin worth thousands to about a coin because they wanted to make their coin shiny and clean. Even the slightest cleaning devalues a coin and is detectable by anyone who you might want to sell your collection or coins to. Hope you enjoy the video. Ted

Classifying Coins

Coin collection is not just about having as many coins as possible. More important than the number of coins is the quality of those coins. This quality is measured by the coins’ grade and the grade is measured using a scale from zero to seventy (seventy being the highest point grade).
