Looks closer to P01. The interesting/fun part was that the other bidder and I both sniped in the last few seconds with the same bid. ebay said that mine was in 2 seconds sooner, so I won.

I would have thought that would have been a good candidate for PO1 too. Good looking coin.

That one has been around the block a few times!
However, I agree with SDave, they were being a little generous on the grade.

I'm kind of a lowball fan anyway. Heck, I can't even see the date on it, but assume PCGS could. Still not a bad price for the key date. I was thinking it might be an easy flip, but I usually end up keeping 'em.

I see the appeal of Lowballs. They're everything we admire about honest circulation, taken to its' logical conclusion.

That nickel did it's job in commerce. It's the key date and completes a collection if needed.
