briarmentrout Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 10:48 pm It's obvious this coin has had a rough life, but the reverse is barely visible... Is this just PSD? The obverse is heavily worn as well but not nearly as bad as the reverse... Thanks in advance Edited by briarmentrout 01/14/2019 12:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 02:29 am CuNi is probably the most durable material used in any US circulating coin. So, it would take quite a bit of mistreatment and circulation to get your coin looking like that. I suspect it was buried in the ground for a bit, maybe decades ago, and heavily circulated as well.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 08:41 am A designated grade of PO-1 is the lowest grade given to a coin as long as the date is discernable ( poor-1 ) . A cull is a badly worn and damaged coin ,not in a collectible state . Usually bent gouged or corroded . ( no Numismatic value ). Report this Post to the Staff

Sharkman Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 11:57 am If I had a coin like this, I'd keep it as a curiosity. It doesn't have any real value, but you may never see another like it. Report this Post to the Staff
