I bought $20 worth of junk silver recently at 12.6 x face value. This was in one of the rolls. Any chance of this getting a PO1 grade? If so, would it be worth slabbing?   |

Looks AG and too strong for Poor01. PO01s don't have full dates. Usually you have to infer the dates. You can always continue rubbing the coin until the date wears away.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

A pocket piece for a year or so and you might get it down to PO.

As moxking suggested, I'll put it in my pocket and let it rattle around with my car keys and change for a year or two. Thanks for the replies. |

The reverse easily makes it but the obverse is AG. I would say FR-02
I got a lowball 1859-S half recently, a fairly scarce date survival-wise. I feel like the obverse easily makes it and the reverse is between PO-01 and FR-02.

The obverse is AG, the reverse is PO. However, the obverse carries the grade, so FA 02.
