edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 8:17 pm I would say that has a shot at P01 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 01:48 am I think for it to make the FR2 grade, you'd have to have One Cent legible. The date is legible, so it's not ungradable or anything. PO1 IMHO. Mind if I ask how much you paid for this lowball? I like lowballs, haha. Imagine how many thousands upon thousands of [dead] people this coin has been in the hands of. Report this Post to the Staff

This is the good part My dealer sells mixed junk coins for 75 SEK/kg = $8.75/kg This coin weighs say 3 grams = 0.003 × 8.75 = $0.026. About melt value? That price in SEK is nothing = 0.026 × 8.57 = 0.225 SEK. Lowest denom is 1 SEK, so that would techincally be rounded down, thus free. But I bought a bunch of other coins for the same bulk price at that time, so this was pretty much a bonus And sorry for the late response, didn't check this thread again until now Thank you all for your opinions!
