Is this what would be called a lowball coin or is the condition too good?

AG sharpness, it would NOT make the PCGS "poorest known" graded status because of the porosity.

For those who don't know what I mean, PCGS has a registry for the worse coins that can get a straight grade. That's right. If you have a terrible coin without damage, you might have a winner that is worth more than a piece that grades higher because of a grading company registry.

billjones, that blows my mind. Do you think this is worth having it graded? I almost forgot I had this coin and when I came across it recently I could not even remember where or when I got it. I figured it was a junk bin find that I picked up for about five bucks many years ago.

but will this one grade problem free? Can you post pics with less washout from the lighting source and a bit further back to see the surfaces in a different manner?

No, don't waste your money on getting this graded. The piece is porous and it will come back with an "environmental damage" label which does not qualify for the "poorest known" registry.

I misled you on my first post, and I have fixed it.

FR-02 here. Only a third of the obverse lettering is even visible.
