The First-Ever PCGS PO-01 1818 Quarter

Barndog · September 3, 2015 12:55AM

grade just posted. I got this off of ebay and am sure some of you recognize it from there. Thought it would be fun to throw into a raw submission with other coins. I had zero doubts it would grade at PO-01.
There are only four other large-size capped bust quarters that have graded at PO-01: three 1820 and one 1822

Fun with plastic

What do you think it is worth as a PO01?

Broadstruck · September 3, 2015 1:32AM

Can you see the full date or just the 8?

Ablinky · September 3, 2015 2:32AM

That's actually pretty cool.

I can see just the 8

As for value, that's a good question. I have absolutely no idea! I thought it would be fun to own. Don't know if "lowballers" do bust quarters.

I think it's overgraded.

Depends on who wants it for their "low ball" collection.

It almost a Cud! 🐃 feed it to the farmers cow, they chew their cud. 😏

An extremely cool piece!

Can I acknowledge the market for lowballs while at the same time professing absolutely no comprehension of the concept

Broadstruck · September 3, 2015 12:47PM

Well if you start a low-ball CBQ quarter collection you could call your registry "Thin Mints" as it looks like a Girl Scout cookie

If coins could talk.....

Very cool. The lowball market is much more active for more modern coins as well as Morgans or commems. The market for things like this is usually pretty thinly traded.

Although it is not a good idea to grade a coin from images and I will not even try to do so, I, too, am wondering if 01.0 is too high a grade for this coin, perhaps Very Poor-00.75?

AmandaVarner: <<Looks juiced>>

Could it have been an AG-03 grade coin that was artificially worn down to appeal to lowballers? I know a collector who once paid a Very Fine level price for a Poor-01 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Some people will pay very large premiums for the lowest grades.

Ya just have to love it??

Barndog · July 8, 2016 4:38PM

If I remember, I should bring this coin to the Anaheim ANA as a curiosity piece

What happens if it gets a gold sticker? Is that a killer?
