Wow, that's a cool one, both wear and die state contribute to it's look.

Quote: FR-2 This was my best guess as well. I wish there were more example photos around of PO-1 Lincoln cents to compare against.

Hard to tell what date it is, but it's a nice low grade coin. 
Errers and Varietys.

Quote: example photos around of PO-1 Lincoln cents to compare against. They exist in this forum somewhere. Many years ago folks were posting them in separate thread. This is better than a PO-1, you have a date and can see the major details. PO looks like a slug. I bet if you get a strong light and mag, you'll be able to make out the last 2 digits, tilt and move around. It can also help to add a drop of water over the area, it too can magnify and is harmless to the coin.

PCGS has only 4 Lincoln cents graded PO-O1 in the population report(1 1909 VDB, 1 1912-D, 1 1915, 1 1917-D), so it's hard to find any examples.

Given how intact the obverse rim is relative to the date, LIBERTY, and IGWT, there's probably a lot of Die Deterioration contributing to the obverse weakness, not just wear.

Dig around on their website and look for the albums by the low ball collectors. They have a separate category. It's been years since I looked - good luck.
