  So here's that 1859-S half I said I would post in another thread. Does it have any chance at making PO01 at PCGS or NGC? Sorry about the sideways images. CCF just seems to do that for some reason. Edited by Omegaraptor

That state look like it was done more by intentional polishing, and less by circulating.
(obviously, it was not a MS coin before the polishing, but I think that it would be a details coin if submitted)

Make it your pocket coin for a year or two and it might straight-grade a PO-01. (As in it will wear away any polishing lines)

 play with it for a year or two and it will get down to poor. Not quite there yet. |

Looks to be at Fair-2 right now, but as others have suggested, it would make a nice pocket piece to get it down to PO-01.  |

also on the side of mechanically worn down
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."
