Is there a grade below p-01? Is there a p-0.5?

littlewicher · September 18, 2002 1:37AM

Braddick, that would be an awesome piece for your collection! I think it would grade PO-01?

tjkillian · September 18, 2002 1:40AM

It is a nice coin, but I would grade it FR-02 as there is still too much detail. Remember that PO-01 is the lowest possible grade and that any more wear would make it no longer a coin but a mere slug.

Wasn't that coin just recently cracked out of an ACG AU53 holder??

1) You can't see if the mint mark would be visible.

2) It's scumbag Joel Rettew selling it (notice the price listed is for VG).

3) It's a solid FR-02.

4) Braddick will bid on it.

I wonder why they quote the price of VG? Doesn't matter, though, as they started the auction out right. I'll bid $1.63 to account for inflation.

Reverse Bottom has some sort of scuff on it, PCGS might not like that.

I have to laugh at the half dimes description

"Good on obverse and worn on reverse."

Guess a good doesn't have any wear.

Take a look at the seller's other auctions and kindly explain to me the Jesus "No Cross No Crown" spoon.

Looks AU 50 to me.

nwcs · September 18, 2002 2:23AM

I believe "No Cross No Crown" is another way of saying that Jesus' kingdom had a path that required the cross. And he had to go there to claim his kingdom.

Braddick doesn't need that one (although he will win it). I just found a PO-01 seated dollar in a catalog that came with my buff... in all of 3 days he owned it

Well, Braddick jumped on it.

I owe Jeremy a debt of gratitude for the lead on that PO01 Seated dollar. It just arrived a few minutes ago and is the most "PO01" coin I remember seeing. Simply a ghost of a reverse Eagle with barely an outline of the obverse, with that all important date, clear enough to identify as '1871'.

Although I own a PO01, PCGS graded, in my "Worse Known" set, I couldn't resist a second one due to the difficulty of finding these this low in Problem Free 100% Original (What am I talking about? These are tough in ANY grade Original!) condition.

-Now, this Trade dollar is a bit of a risk. The last one I attempted to grade out at PCGS (FA02) was bodybagged for an old (real old, coin was a deep gray) cleaning and this one on eBay may not fare much better, but it's worth a try as PO01 (and, FA02's, as this one will go- Greg and Tom are right) are tough although GD04's and up are somewhat easier to locate.
Again though, like it's Seated brothern, Trade dollars usually come damaged or played with in some way in these Super Lower Grades that keep them out of PCGS holders.

Braddick,

Have you ever posted your "worst" set? Just curious.
I've got to admit they have a certain, albeit bizarre appeal.

braddick · September 18, 2002 6:01AM

You don't have to ask me twice!!

Thanks for the gentle "push"- I needed that to decide they're gone.

do any coin pictures come with Braddick's set?

calgolddiver · September 18, 2002 6:41AM

Braddick -

I have some fair and poor raw indians. PM me if interested .

<< <i>do any coin pictures come with Braddick's set? >>

That is my next project- SCANS don't cut it though, these "beauties deserve nothing less than digital photography.

I have braddick.com set aside for these Low Grade coins
and peac0 ckcoins.com (spelled the right way) set aside for the Modern Rainbow coinage.
