The Professional Coin Grading Service's ...
Official Guide to
Coin Grading
And
Counterfeit Detection

This Is The Highly Sought After
First Edition

   This is a 100% Mint Copy of the highly sought after, Professional Coin Grading Service's Official Guide to Coin Grading And Counterfeit Detection First Edition!  Mint copies of this book appearing anywhere are unheard of!  Even those who own used copies sit back smugly with the knowledge they have a book that everybody wants and can't find.   This is the book that many have been asking for after being disappointed by the low quality of the 2nd edition!

So What Is The Book All About?    

    For many veteran numismatists, the task of creating one book that would encompass every facet of coin grading and counterfeit detection seemed a formidable, near impossible proposition.  Then came along the 1st edition of the Professional Coin Grading Service's Official Guide to Coin Grading And Counterfeit Detection -- that made the "near impossible" a reality.  However, to the dismay of many -- the book quickly sold out and remained out of print for a number of years.  Then a long anticipated 2nd edition became available but it turned out to be a second-rate-reduced-size-printed-on-cheap-paper version that many folks simply did not care for.
    Now, we have acquired one case of the original 1997 1st edition from an old time book dealer who just found them when he was moving to new quarters.  This book is the full size 8-1/2 x 11" format printed on heavy slick paper with many more color plates than the 2nd edition!  In fact this version has 48 pages of full-color illustrations vs. the 16 reduced size pages in the 2nd edition!  This version even has a coupon on the back page good for one
free coin grading from PCGS!  

    This amazing one-of-a-kind guide virtually revolutionizes the coin collecting business.  Here is a coin grading volume so complete and so advanced that it explains, illustrates, and, indeed, sets the standards for grading Mint State coins.  Lavishly illustrated with photographs made possible only by state-of-the-art equipment, and with precise and meticulously accurate descriptions, this book heralds a new era for coin collectors.  With this guide, you truly can grade coins like an expert.  Inside, this spectacular reference reveals:

Quite Simply, in today's market,
a coin collector without this guide is at risk!

        Postage/Handling/Insurance: Unless otherwise noted, please add $3.65 for postage/handling/insurance on all coin and book orders, add $4.50 to all supply orders.  Multiple eBay auction lots for coins (or other hobby/ jewelry items) that are paid for at the same time may be grouped together to arrive at a single postage rate by adding $1.50 per additional auction won to the base postage cost (example three coins won in three auctions would cost $3.65+$1.50+$1.50=$6.65 postage).    As they are shipped separately of one another, please calculate coin, book and supply orders separately to arrive at your total postage costs.   We insure via Private-Courier Services™ (for lower valued packages) or the United States Postal Service -- vendor of our choice.
       Tracking Number Services:  We do not force our customers to pay for the service that provides this function as it is rarely used by anybody.  However, those who want to be able to track their order may request this service by adding $1 to their postage (per package) and specifically asking for the service.   Please DO NOT ask for tracking numbers if you have not paid for this optional service as they will not be available.  The tracking number will be available from us after the shipping date by request.
    Foreign Orders:  All payments must be made in US funds. Foreign orders cost more to ship; please contact us for an estimate of those costs before bidding.   Failing to contact us first, and not knowing the costs of shipping, is not a legitimate excuse to back out of a won auction.  Foreign orders must be insured for us to accept PayPal.  Please see the "Fine Print" for more details regarding foreign orders.  PLEASE - IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO PAY THE POSTAGE AND INSURANCE TO YOUR COUNTY -- DO NOT BID!!!!  
    Terms of Sale:
Satisfaction guaranteed! 14 days return privileges for items in original untampered holders -- no questions asked with 100% of the price charged refunded less our actual cost to ship the item(s) or postal charges collected (whichever is higher), plus a $3 processing fee for returned items purchased via eBay or other auctions.  Note that proof sets or other Mint products ordered "Mint Sealed" or in otherwise unopened packaging are not returnable for any reason.  You always have the option of us opening such packaging and inspecting the contents for you to assure quality before we ship.  Such items are returnable as per the above terms.  We process an average of 100 to 150 orders per week and they are filled by postmark or transaction date with the oldest being filled first.
   
Methods Of Shipment: We ship via USPS to either a home/office address or post office box.   Due to their weight and high cost to ship by other means, Books are shipped via 4th Class "Media Mail" unless other arrangements are made to upgrade to a faster service.
  Fourth Class Media Mail may take up to four weeks for delivery but normally arrives to its destination within a week (such service can take up to six weeks going to Hawaii or Alaska).  If you choose to not upgrade to a faster service for book shipments please do not complain to us about any lags in shipping time -- this is a postal issue -- not ours.  
    Time Of Shipment:   The average time we take to fill an order is seven business days with a range of five to ten business days, and can go a bit longer around holidays or special-event days family and friends generally get together.
    Methods Of Payment: No COD orders accepted.  Credit Cards not accepted except through PayPal.  Make checks and money orders payable to Ken Potter. PayPal payments should be directed to our account under the email address of: kpotter256@aol.com.  All checks and money orders (except those money orders from the U.S. Post Office) must clear bank.  We allow 7 business days for in-state checks, 10 business days for out-of-state check and 14 business days during/around holidays (scam artists increase their activities around holidays when they know processing in some financial institutions and post offices becomes delayed.   A few "bad apples" make it bad on everybody). 
    Treatment Of Technical Information:  Bidders in our auctions may notice that we often provide detailed information about our products.  When possible we try to identify the issuing entity, date-of-issue, brief historical data, possible rarity, etc.  We include this so that you are better informed on the items you are ordering or bidding on.  Mintage and production numbers (or estimates thereof) and other technical specifications given for coins and other collectibles are taken from standard references, Mint reports, certificates of authenticity, promotional material, direct conversations with manufacturers/distributors, etc.  The information provided is given in good faith and presumed to be the most accurate estimates available.   However we can not be held responsible for errors found within these sources.  Thus all sales are final after the 14 day return period even in the rare instance of technical data given later found to be flawed.
   Please click here > Fine Print< to read the balance of our terms of sale.  It contains information on foreign orders, the average length of time it takes for us to fill orders, how to make an inquiry, a note to PayPal customers, etc.  We ask that this section to our Terms of Sale be read at least one time before you bid in any of our auctions.
   Bidding in our auctions constitutes acknowledgment that you have read and agreed to all of the terms outlined above and in the "Fine Print
