edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:28 pm I think it's closer to FR02. Does it have to grade problem-free to count as a lowball. The grafitti/scratches are concerning. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:32 pm Yeah, just saw that big X on the reverse. LOL. How about FR-2, but net PO-01 details/damaged? ;) Just having a bit of fun. Looking at pages MS and Proof coins all night trying to snipe gets boring after the first couple thousand. Still a fun little worn coin. I've got a few SLQ/SLH in this condition, but without scratches. They're fun conversation pieces.

Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:33 pm From what I have learned from other forum members in the past I think the scratches/grafitti would hold this one back. I think it is a details coin. As I have learned, it is very very hard to get that PO-01. Report this Post to the Staff
Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:36 pm paralyse....I know what you mean....these are a lot of fun. I have came very close to PO-01 quite a few times for very little money. It's fun to just think about what these types of coins have been through and the stories they could tell.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:38 pm Yup. Out of my entire collection, I've got maybe one or two coins that would make a problem-free PO-01 in a slab. I think that for some series they're rarer than MS coins by a hundredfold :P Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:45 pm Adam , this is a liberty Seated quarter. too bad all the graffiti I think prevents it from a non details grade. very close to PO-01, IMO Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 10:55 pm Yeah, I better fix that. I need to lay off the work and try sleep. 65 hours a week, 6 days a week, is good for neither clarity nor sanity. :) Title updated.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 4:56 pm Yeah, FR-02 details, just not quite nasty enough (but close). Report this Post to the Staff
