So thats what it looks like with the date showing.  Oh I put my 2 centimes coin under a microscope, it is an 1853 as close as I can tell, I can clearly make out the 18_3 the third number is tricky. But it is a 5 |

1881 5 Kopeks. In the world of lowballs that might be submitted for certification, 19th century Russian issues of this general type have the advantage of an incuse date that remains legible even after the rest of the design is effaced.   Colligo ergo sum

does environmentally damaged coin count in this low ball? Generally not considered as such, a distinction being drawn between damaged and worn. Quote:
1857 W France. 5 centimes. Napoleon III It's my understanding that French coppers of this sort circulated up into the 1930's. I see many very smoothed out examples in the "bargain" bins. Your specimen's actually much better than most, with a good deal of the eagle's feathers still discernible. I'd judge it might grade out as high as VG8 or even 10. Colligo ergo sum

does environmentally damaged coin count in this low ball? Generally, no. A true lowball is a coin that would grade straight as PO-01 (or the equivalent) with a determinable date, so any damage (like corrosion) would not allow a straight grade. For the purposes of this topic, though, there is more leniency.  From the OP: Quote:
So... for those who find enjoyment in them... post your finds. brag about just how little detail remains in your sample... share your stories of finding them and why they are of interest to you... Biggest premium you ever paid... you get the idea...
Most of all have fun and be nice... because lowballing isn't about getting uptight over coulda/shoulda/woulda for the next grades up. This thread I hope puts some smiles on faces and chuckles in our breaths. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
