I found a Kennedy half with an unreadable date the other day. Guess its worth 50c, but it just might be the start of my type set of AG or below. I'd like to fill a 7070 with coins that are AG or less, but only from honest wear, not chemically or physically damaged. I wonder if an AG Ike would be available? I'd pay extra for that! |

Do you have a photo of that Kennedy half? Now comes the hard one: How will you find an AG Sacagawea? |

'Honest wear' suggests something else..  |

According to NGC report, the lowest graded Sac is a VF 2000-D piece..
Why would one send it for grading? I suspect it was an error coin, any other ideas?

OK so if our coin grading system starts with a G-1 for example, would some of the coins posted here be graded as -G-2, or -G-4. Or would there now have to be a new system using P for Poor, UG for Ugley, etc. With this system I think I've already seen a few -P-2 and even a UG-1 here. Since this post has started something lets come up with a grading system for these and make it a permanent system. Next we contact Whitmany and have them add it to page 9 in the next addtion of the Red Book. |

The unknown to the general public grades below PO-1 are:
AP about poor
BA bad
VB very bad
JQ junk
CR crap

I personally like the idea of 'UG'

I found the Sac dollar that took extended leave in Ecuador. Apparently, they actually get well-used there:  |
