If you can get your hands on a copy of Spink, their is a section at the start of each era which shows the differences between various grades and describes why. You'll also notice that worn hammered's are often a higher equivalent grade than milled due to the relatively poor quality of the original coin.

Hope That Helps a little, there is simply no easy way out.
