  That's a decent guide, except for the fact that it's missing half the grades

  I just bought a bunch of better date walkers and sorting out grades VG10-VF20 is not my cup of tea!
  
  I may just have to buy a bunch of PCGS slabs and make myself a grading reference set. Any excuse to buy more coins!

  It's really not a tough series to grade as there's far worse.
  
  Prior to buying more coins spend some gas money instead and hit a few local coin shows and study them in hand.

  That PCGS Photograde looks pretty good to me.
  As for the original site posted by the OP, it looks a little 'old school'......I would gladly buy the 21D examples shown to represent the dates Good and Fine
  
  Also for the OP - don't give up - I see walkers in top tier holders all the time that I disagree with, coins under and over graded, IMO.
  Not that my personal opinion really matters, but when I see two coins with the same grade, they should have roughly the same meat on them.
  But when I see a F15 in a holder with VF details, and the next one with VG+ details, that tells me even the "pro's" are inconsistent.
