Excerpt – Introduction by Scott A. Travers:
Imagine yourself trying to assemble the pieces of a huge jigsaw puzzle of a map of a land foreign to you. You could try to find the four corners; then proceed from there. Or you could spread out sections of matching parts across the living-room floor and go through the rest of the puzzle’s pieces, hoping to find some part – any part! – that should fit neatly into the assemblage.
The puzzle would be difficult to solve if you didn’t have any idea of what it should look like put together: your best guesses as to which piece goes where might be hopelessly wrong. Think what it would be like trying to assemble that jigsaw puzzle of some of the pieces were missing! Imagine how you would feel if you found out that whole sections of fitting pieces didn’t pertain to the puzzle you were assembling! Try grading an uncirculated coin!
For the newcomer, the process of grading coins can be likened to a jigsaw puzzle. No one book holds all the pieces to the puzzle. Rather, each participant in the marketplace holds his or her own secret, magical piece. But James L. Halperin holds an incredible number of those valuable pieces. In this book, he is willing to boldly share with you hi6s opinions and grading insights(“…no guts, no glory!”).
The N.C.I. Grading Guide is an important and necessary piece required to solve the great grading puzzle…
