Looks FR-2 to me. You could use it as a pocket piece to get it down to PO-1.

Somehow I forgot to add this one here. He is not the lowest of lowballs, but it is my lowest graded Ike. This one is courtesy of our own nickelsearcher. 1976 Eisenhower dollar Variety 2  |

The reason I asked is because it seemed to me its state of wear is pretty comparable to that of the PCGS certified 1881-O Morgan recently posted here. Either might yet lose a bit more and still be identifiable, but the real question is what degree of wear gets it "over the hump" so to speak so that additional abrasion makes it just even more of a Poor-1?

Been a while since I have had what to contribute to this thread. Picked this up this week. It is a 1796 Draped Bust Cent reverse of '95. I bought it for resale, and I think I did quite well on it. Please share your thoughts and what would be a good price.   |

I'll start off today's finds for this genre with this Shield nickel. I believe the date, while difficult to read, can be ascertained to be 1882, although I shan't be offended by opinions to the contrary on that point.   Next is a German 10 pfennig, again with a heavily worn date, but enough left that I'm reasonably confident calling it as 1875.   Finally, an 1872 Canadian 50 cent piece (Victoria). Only 80K were struck that year, so any remaining extant are still worthwhile regardless of condition.   Colligo ergo sum

I recently came across two - My Sister sent me a bunch of foreign coins she got while waitressing and this British coin? was in there. Then this Lincoln Cent I found in a roll. Obverse looks "good" but reverse is pretty smooth.   |

Quote:That is an amazingly worn dime, two_tonevf35! I was thinking the same thing. How the heck did that happen? It doesn't look like a normal pocket worn piece. It looks to perfect or consistent. Almost like it may have come from the mint like that. Some kind of Greaser? Edited by USSID18
