If Fair is the lowest grade offered by ICCS I would
say it is properly graded. A nice addition to a set
of Lowball dollars.

That he is (Barry). His was one of the most impressive and at times insurmountable missions. 35-67 Dollars, complete range for every year, ICCS graded, including varieties. I think he was around 70% done when he passed. The last time I saw him had a 36 in his pocket that was close to "fair". He was carrying it around for a couple of years.

How on Earth did it managed to get that worn?
Until now, I have never seen one of these in less than AU condition.

If this coin would have had a Kings profile on it without a date, would it have graded the same?

Universalcoins (John), this one is not the worst I have seen. Jaime has one ICCS graded Poor, this was his extra piece, and I bought it, because I loved it so much. It is the only silver dollar (that is not an error or NCLT), in my collection...

If you could decipher the reverse as being a 1939 or 1949 dollar, then yes, it would have graded the same...

Just curious. It doesn't necessarily have to be with this coin in particular, but does a lowball coin carry much of a premium? and if anyone does have an example, how much more are we talking? my guess is it would have to matter on who it is buying it and what they value it.

Lowballs do carry a premium... the crossover point (where lowball value exceeds expected value for the grade, is G-6 or less)... newer coins, like post-1964, are really tough to find in this grade...

Always learn something new on this site.
I always thought that if a coin had the date worn off,
it was ungradeable.
Now I know that if the year can be identified by other means
such as being a centennial, it will be graded.

Most won't be third party graded, just because its impossible to give an attribution. Say most Voyageur dollars that have no date won't be slabbed. That's why coins like this or the other special commem designs are great in such low grade. Its so rare to see them in that state. Even a Poor-1 can, as this instance illustrates, can have a unique eye appeal. Novelty alone can sometimes command a premium.

Interesting point. I wonder how many coins could be attributed "PL" under 60 by US TPGs or ICCS. A coin such a 67 could still easily be attributed at below UNC because of edge characteristics, although distinguishing between PL and SP could prove more difficult. I'm guessing there would be some coins coins graded "SP" below 60. For sure by ICCS, not sure about the others.
