coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 1:41 pm Yeah it's a low FR-2 if it's better than PO, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 1:56 pm I'm surprised that the date is still clear enough to read FR-2. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 2:05 pm The reverse is completely worn off however, it does have a full date! That's one of the reasons I bought it. Normal weight is 5.0 grams. This one weighs 4.47! I also believe this is a FR2. I wonder what PCGS or NGC would call it. I'm figuring a FR2 only because it is identifiable and full date. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 6:22 pm well in order for them to grade the coin it has to be identifiable by either date or other markers. if this one had no date they would not be able to grade it because they wouldn't know what year it was minted in. I have actually seen some PO-01's in PCGS slabs that had a little more detail in the date than this one and more detail on the Reverse also. No matter what it grades I like it because it looks like real honest wear and you don't see many of these things wore that much Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 7:00 pm Thanks Bryan. It has to be one of the lowest grade coins with a date I have ever seen and yes, it's just honest wear. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
