keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 4:33 pm Hey everyone. I've got a few questions on this dime. I'm still confused as to what qualifies a coin to be a lowball. Does the date have to still be somewhat visible or just be able to verify what variety the coin is? Also I've provided some pics of the date with different lighting so I wanna see if anyone can see anything that I am not. Also what would you grade this coin? Thanks for any input and comments.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 6:27 pm The date HAS to be identifiable. And if the date is identifiable the coin will be also. I believe most "lowballers" want to get the coin into a slab. Report this Post to the Staff

keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 6:56 pm That's what I was thinking also. I'm pretty sure it's an 183?. Thanks for the input so far everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 10:13 pm If you can figure out the date, I think it will likely grade PO-1. Hard to say when this worn but I think there is a possibility it could be the large diameter. The stars on the obverse look larger and more characteristic of the large diameter than the small diameter. Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 12:25 am PCGS would get you the most value but really, you have to be 100% sure that they will be able to identify the date. Otherwise, your grading fees will go to waste as this wouldn't be gradable as a true lowball. Report this Post to the Staff
