briarmentrout Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 4:35 pm How would I determine it was a Po-1 without getting it slabbed/certified? Or is that the only way? Report this Post to the Staff

If you're not a grader or confident in your grading skills, forget it. It takes practice and you gotta know what you're doing and know what you're looking it. That's why I use this forum. Post your coins here for opinions before submitting them. Ultimately, the coin has to be in a TPG slab with a straight P01 grade to fetch a premium.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 4:46 pm briarmentrout , If your coin has a readable date and nothing going on but good honest wear ( no problems )then likely to grade PO-01 . Edited by T-BOP 02/06/2019 4:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
briarmentrout Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 4:50 pm Do you think I should take better pictures and post to the grading forum? If it's worth getting slabbed then I will. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 4:52 pm This is not a PO-01. It's just a cull with a clear date and considerable ED. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 01:28 am Yes, I agree with the Frog. It has too much environmental damage to ever grade as a straight PO-01. Still, it's 120 years old. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 04:03 am Even if this coin graded straight, which it wouldn't, it would not make PO-01. Way too much detail remaining on obverse that would set it firmly in FR-02 territory, even taking into account the slick reverse Report this Post to the Staff
