PCGS - For a key date like the 1928 Peace dollar, most collectors chase a Mint State example. But Low Ball collectors run the opposite way: the lowest grades possible. Hitting PCGS PO01 is quite tough; the coin needs excessive wear, but just enough detail to identify it. Any lowballs in your collection?

I always worry about that (not that I'm really a lowball collector). But, I'd rather have a Lowball with a mint Mark for confirmation, than one without for this very reason. First thing I did was check date and mm area...but being so worn I wouldn't spend big bucks on it.

Circulated Morgan and Peace dollars are fantastic. I had been buying them up because I love them right before silver surged. Good timing. Suddenly they are as valuable as low mint state examples.

There was a time, about a decade ago, where I was a committed lowball collector. In 2016 my lowball Peace dollar set was awarded a PCGS plaque for best registry set.

You can still find the retired Peace lowball set as the current #3 all time registry set at the PCGS site.

I also had PCGS certified sets of Seated halves, Barber halves and Walking Liberty halves. All award winning sets.

It's a lot harder to find a true certifiable lowball than you think.

I've since divested them all.

That was a fun raw find during my active searching days. I seem to recall it was a Bicentennial Ike. I'm pleased you still enjoy it.
