Still waiting for the ultimate grading guide

With all the precision grading these days in MS and circulated coins it would be great to have a complete grading guide. The PCGS book is a really good book, but it is only complete on some of the most popular series like Morgan dollars, Buffalo nickels and the like.It shows nice clear digital pictures of each increment of grade,f-12,f-15,vf-20,vf-25,vf-30,and so on.When is comes to the Flowing hair,Draped bust, and the older stuff it only has one paragraph for these coins from VF-20 thru VF-35 and no pictures.(A picture is worth a thousand words)The other guides like photograde and the ANA grading guide doesn't have very good pictures and not to much explanation of each grade.I collect type coins and that is a lot to know and it would be nice to have this kind of grading book at your finger tips,I would buy one in a heartbeat.I know it would be an expensive book but it would be well worth it in my opinion.image
