Yes
I define lowball coins as well worn with problem-free surfaces.
If a coin is damaged, no matter how worn, I don't consider it a lowball.

something seems off, at least from the pics, so i'll say no.
I think this may have been artificially worn.

Generally, you need to be able to attribute a date to get a PO1 grade. It can be visible or via unique characteristics or die markers...

Here is a good example of a lowball Kennedy half dollar and what they should look like:

I believe the OP coin has been artificially worn... PMD.... Not sure how, but it is severe. Cheers, RickO
I pulled it out of a circulated roll. No idea how it happened but it sure did jump out at me!

It would make a great pocket piece.
