I only have one coin that I feel is worthy of sharing. It is a Lincoln Cent from the 1960s. This was a coin roll find that I pulled out of circulation about a year ago. This coin has been graded FR-2 by the numerous lowball collectors here at CCF.   |

This seems strangely similar to my contest a while back. Pictures are pending.

If you can't identify a date, it's not really a lowball. Imo

I have one that might qualify. 1910 King Edward Dime. Not quit as worn as McNickels coin though.   I also have this English Half Penny but you cannot read the date.   Edited by JimmyD

Congratulations on your 1000 post !! We did this contest a few months back ... I seem to recall 'winning' but did not feel worthy of the prize.  I admit to all a passion for truly honest low-ball USA coins ... examples which have honorably served our Nation's commerce and that have arrived to us today in certifiable state. That pursuit is tougher than many think ... truly worn coins with original surfaces ... and able to be specifically identified by date/mm ... that is a challenging and pleasant pursuit of this great hobby. In the spirit of sharing my collecting passion for these coins ... I offer the following two low-ball examples not viewed in TypeCoin971793 prior contest - 1893 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar - PCGS PO01 We had a fun time in the Commemorative forum trying to determine the date ... the PCGS wizards answered the question. Outstanding surfaces and color on a treasured PO01 example of this initial USA commemorative coin. 1897-S Barber half dollar - PCGS PO01 Key date for the series ... Population 1/0 low-ball ... a lovely addition to my growing interest in the Barber series. Rules are 2 coins ... so I stop there ... I could show many more recent PCGS certified PO01. I consider my contributions to be non-competitive for any prizes ... truly enjoying the sharing of some lovely coins. Best - David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
