A PO-01 worthy Morgan? 1879 P?

So I finally managed to find what I think will definitely grade a PO-01. I know there are some who don't get the lowball collecting but I have just been intent on finding one just for fun. I think this might do it! The last lowball I sent in turned out to be an 1895 S FR-02.
Now I need some help, I think this is a P mint mark but some other insights would be appreciated!

FR02 IMO. Too much obverse detail.

I know PCGS has the minimum grade on submissions...I guess there isn't a "Maximum" though!
Maybe.
Looks like a 1.5 to me which would be a 02.
Does that mean a 64.5 is a 65?
1879-S VDB.
I do not know for sure if that is a PO-1... looks to me as if it may be a tad too much detail, however, I may be wrong... Let us know if you send it in. Cheers, RickO
Maybe another year in the pocket and 3 or 4 more wash cycles . . .
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
I sent this coin in earlier and I really hope it will be a PO01!

Thing is, if the mm, or date, can't be positively confirmed, it gets a body bag. PO01 is a very tricky/hard grade to get. Which is, in part, why some of us desire them so much. Now, if only we can get a community (registry set, cough, registry set) dedicated to ms60 "unc lowballs" on the same interest level as PO01's enjoy. I wonder which grade is harder to get, overall..
That certainly is worn. I also like to collect worn 'lowball' Morgan dollars. I wonder where they've been, what stores they passed through or what card games the saw. Hope you get your grade.
I like it, good luck !!!
And the result is?

I didn't think of this. That is correct, if PCGS can't determine the mint mark it should get a BB. I hope it POs for you.

If there was a mint mark I do believe you would be able to see remnants of something. I took a loupe to it and there is nothing which leads me to believe it's a P, but oh well it's all good fun!
It's clearly a 79-P, but no PO1. PO1 not only can't have rims on either side, the date is also typically about half way gone.

you got the grade right, poor poor poor!
or basal state if you wish?

I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but PCGS doesn't allow a minimum grade of 70 on modern bulk. The lowball version of this would be not allowing a maximum grade of 1 on lowball bulk.

I think you did it ..... the “1”
Hard to imagine all that wear and nothing to "detail" it.
Can you elaborate please? Wear, in and of itself, is no reason to details a coin nomatter how "worn" the coin is, up until the point of not being able to determine date/mint that is.
No rim damage, major scratches, things like that.
I was concerned about whatever is going on near the star @4 o'clock might be damage. Happy for the op. Pretty neat that this graded and is truly in a slab/class of it's own!
Oh guys it didn't grade yet, could still get details for all I know. I just sent it out a couple days ago, will be months until we know what happens unfortunately.
Oh, sorry. For some reason I was under the impression it had already been graded. I think I'm dumb!
Pop was bumped from 5 to 6. Could it be my coin? Hopefully I will find out soon!
I think it's an 01, but I would call it cleaned due to too-white surfaces.
What are the guidelines for submitting in this low ball category? If I can find it again, I have a Morgan that makes the coin in the OP's picture look like an MS-65.
good luck

What became of this?
If they can determine its a genuine, uncleaned Philly then it looks like a 1 to me. I think the marks would be excused at this grade.
I think it would be a fair 2. It would be tough to see it land in a poor 1. We know its not AG 3
I hope it is your coin, good luck
News?
2 obv 1 rev - if that coin could only talk.
All of the dings, dents and scratches have been worn away....
Just like a cleaned AU coin... If you wear it down to a 45, you probably can't tell it was once cleaned anymore.
The problem with P-01 is that I never see a lowball Morgan with the wear pattern as pictured in the photograde example. There always seems to be more detail near the rims and less central device details.
Lowballs ain’t my deal, but I still find them very interesting.
It depends on the grader's opinion on what they think a PO01 coin should look like. There are over %80 graded Morgan dollar PO01s and no two look alike. Unlike a perfect 70 coin with no flaws some PO01 coins do have issues but graded anyways.
Still got a full LIBERTY.
I doesn’t rate
its basal state
i would give it a poor-01

Old thread
But what was the result @Spartcom5?
I'm no expert but it looks like a 1 to me
