Grading Franklins?

Anybody know of a good book for grading Franklins or what to look for in grading coins. I have no idea at all on grading coins. All the coins i've purchased already have been certified. I purchased a book off of E-bay recently that was complete junk, all it said was look for marks here and there. Gave no pictures on this is a 63 because or this is a 64 because. I'm more confused now than before. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks, that one page shows more than the few pages the book I bought did.

    You can also pick up a copy of The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins. It covers grades from VG8 to MS 70. It's about $17 and can be found on EBAY........Rick
