Hello, all!
I was perusing circulated commemorative half population numbers, and I noticed Worn Out's AG-03 wasn't showing up as the lowest graded York. This is very, very interesting - PCGS is now showing a PO-01 York half dollar. Now, this is a rather rare issue simply under AU, so a "low as it gets" coin seems to be quite the surprise.
I didn't see this coin featured in any of the Top 5 lowball commemorative sets, so I figured I'd post here and see if it belongs to anyone and, if so, could they post a picture!
Regardless - what a reminder! They're still out there, apparently.

Possibly it is one of one.
Probably it was somebodys long time pocket piece.
Be interested to see it though.

100% a pocket piece. You can achieve this with any coin.

Seems to me that a P01 pocket piece would've LONG since lost its appeal as a conversation piece, LOL.

It's certainly not mine. I had the York at #2 on my list of circulated commemorative stoppers - and my AU55 example does not even meet my own criteria of being XF45 or lower. Quote:

When I was actively pursuing a circulated commemorative type set I was interested in acquiring coins which had honorably served our nations commerce. I had no interest at all in how low the grade was - in that sense I was not a lowball collector so this PO01 York would not have appealed to me. |
