BrianCoin New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/25/2015 1:37 pm As I was browsing coin forums and sales I noticed there's some kind of premium for PO-01 graded coins. I have a Mercury dime I've had for some time now and was wondering if ya'll think it would make the cut. I used my loupe and can tell that it is a 1917, I am pretty sure it's an s mint but could be a muddled d mint maybe. The obverse is a little more worn than an example PCGS has of an FR-2 but the reverse on mine is far more worn than the FR-2. I couldn't find a good example of a PO-01 so was wanting opinions. Is it worth sending in to a TPG? Which TPG should I use if so? (If the pictures are too poor of quality I can try uploading more but I am simply using an android phone on my lap, I have nothing better and, to be honest, I don't plan on buying any extra camera gear because I don't take enough pictures to be worth it.)
