You have your grading scale incorrect.

The grades at the lowball end of the scale are PO01, FR02, AG03 and G04.

I voted AG03 for this Morgan. Way too much legend remaining to go any lower.

This can be a fun set to chase. Best of wishes to you!

There was a time where I had the #1 rated PCGS Peace dollar lowball set, as well as the #1 PCGS rated Walking Liberty half lowball set.

You are close - but there is no accepted G5 grade.

That may be your opinion, but for a serious lowball collector anything higher than AG03 would not be considered.

Spend a few moments in the PCGS lowball registry and take a look at perhaps the top 20 sets for various denominations. You won't find many coins graded higher than AG03.

That's the spirit! It's a fun but challenging set to pursue.

Below is a link to my previous Peace dollar PCGS lowball set. All PO01 & FR02 with two coins as AG03.

I retired the set years ago, and it still remains #3 all-time.

I have photos of each coin so you can see for yourself what these look like in true lowball state.

Best of wishes with your pursuit. Keep us updated.

what you have as P01 has no readable date? the PCGS list has P01 as a barely readable date and mint mark. a "no date coin is just considered as junk. or am I wrong

You are correct. A lowball coin needs to be specifically identifiable by date and mint mark. A no date coin is considered a cull.

Take a look at the PO01 coins in my registry link shared above - although the dates are in many cases barely there each coin can be identified.
