I'll go with FR-02 also . Mama always said that searching through a junk bin is like a box of chocolate , you never know what you're gonna find .

I would agree with FR02 if not for the fact that PCGS reports none in FR02 and AG03 but one each in PO01 and G04. I don't know, maybe they just don't update the pop report frequently?

I'll say PO01.

I don't think the details coins are reported in the PCGS population reports....is this correct? I think this may be a good details grade.

I'd gladly house that in my measly collection of VGish Capped Bust Dimes. Nice piece, travelled through many hands and pockets along the way during a great time in history.

I think you're right, but I bet this graded straight.

This is more than a typical junk box 2x2 find - appears to be a PCGS certified early USA mint coin.

What does the TPG label say?

I'm at FR02.

Guessing you found it in a junk bin and then submitted for grading?

If so, very nice find indeed.

No opinion on the grade, but that's a mind boggling junk box find! No matter how many times I look at it, I only count 13 stars. Yikes!

I'd say FR-2 as well. First thing I noticed before reading any description was the 8 over 7 even in this poor of a condition. Only stuff I find in a junk box is well, junk! Great find!

Thanks for the great responses. I would like to add that the coin is indeed PCGS graded PO01 and is the 13 star variety. Was just a lucky find.
