Less than PO01?

mepot · July 13, 2004 9:30AM

My wifes uncle has been carrying this Peace dollar since he came back from WWII.He'll be 82 this week.

I wonder if there is a grade less than PO01,maybe "smooth 01"?

I had one almost that low.

That's one slick puppy!

The only grade less than PO01 is SC00----scrap.

That's so ugly, it's actually beautiful.

razorface1027 · July 13, 2004 9:45AM

UMMM...got any reverse pics of that?

RotatedRainbows · July 13, 2004 9:47AM

I think the only grade below PO01 is Cull 00

mepot · July 13, 2004 9:48AM

Just to add,the rev is perfectly slick,no design at all!

Look`s like an ACG VF-20 to me

Technically it'd be basal state. But it won't grade that. Now you need to AT it and sell it on ebay.

GoYankees · July 13, 2004 11:15AM

Ask your uncle if he remembers the date of that Peace dollar. Inquiring minds want to know.

lordmarcovan · July 13, 2004 11:26AM

Probably a 1928.

GoYankees · July 13, 2004 11:30AM

<< Probably a 1928.

That would be both funny and sad.

lordmarcovan · July 13, 2004 11:32AM

I saw an otherwise nice 1928 with a big fat hole over Liberty's head, once.

Even I, The Holey of Holeys, had to grit my teeth over that one.

For several years, I have complained about the lack of established grade levels for low grade coins. I have many "average circulated" Barber coins and can now distinguish between an AG 3.0 , AG 3.3, AG 3.5, and AG 3.7.

However, this Peace Dollar recalls the comments of a favorite dealer I met again at a show last month. He believes that there should be grades below PO-01. I may not have the numbers right, but there should be grades like TY-0.7 (identifiable only by type), DE-0.5 (identifiable only by denomination), and ME-0.2 (identifiable only by metal) above the grade of SC-00.

Here is my TY-0.7 Indian quarter eagle, although it would not slab due to the solder.

Here is my lowest grade, undamaged type coin. When I first saw this in an Indiana coin shop 17 years ago I thought it was a porous blank planchet. When the right lighting hits it, it is identifiable as a 2c piece.

Did someone mention a low grade 1928?! (Not a PO01... but pretty close!)

Pat, nice coin! Tough date......

braddick · July 13, 2004 1:11PM

Thanks Craig.
You should see it up close!

Notice that the eagle contiunes to hold it's head up high and proud through the years of wear and tear. An inspiration to us all.
