Albuquerque antique store pickup. Got a killer deal on it so snagged it. FR2 or PO1? Thoughts [URL="https://ibb.co/S6Q2dMD]  [/url] [URL="https://ibb.co/XtLrjKp]  [/url] swcoin.ecrater.com

I love these coins, even heavily worn. It has real value.
I think Paralyse is a little optimistic on the obverse. Looks textbook F02 to me, but the reverse is entirely obliterated, so I think you're left with P01.,

Agree, can't see better than PO-01.

I'm a fan of the lowballs. I think this is a fantastic piece! PO1 IMO. Not sure how this gets FR2 without a reverse to speak of.
I'm working on an entry level date set of the early large cents and would be thrilled to have stumbled on a specimen like this at a good price! Nice find!

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."

With the absence of a reverse, and a FR2 obverse, I will concur a PO1.
I do love you can see a date of 1796
That was motivation to buy it ;-)
Thanks!

tough call between P1 and F2. I'm leaning F02 due to the obv.

Great find! If you don't mind me asking, how much were you able to grab this guy for?
