Who here has seen a PCGS 1955 PO 01 cent? What about a Wheat cent dated after 1929 graded PO 01 by PCGS? Now tell me how many MS 66 you can find. |

I just can't get into the loball thing, although I can already hear the plastic cracking on that 66 holder.

Give me a few years and I will have a handful of PO-1's for you.  Quote:I can't recall ever seeing a Wheat cent in Poor 1 slab, much less a 50s Wheat cent. I would suspect, only because, who pays $30 to have a worn out, beat up old Wheat cent graded? Not because they are so rare |

I don't believe in this low grade, junk coin concept that has been marketed by the PCGS registry. As a collector I have gone for worst I could afford and don't intent to do that ever.

The 66 by a long shot. ANY circulated or uncirculated penny can be worn down to poor condition. If the value of these "lowball" coins gets high enough, farms of people in China will literally be handing genuine coins back and forth to wear them down so they can get the "coveted" P-01 grade. Silly. You can't wear a coin up so the 66's are genuinely rare.

My point was that there are a lot that are better than that grade. If 1,138 are in 66 RD, there are probably just as many or more in RB, but most people don't bother certifying a common date coin in that grade. |
