Awsome Pick Up, but how the H*LL did you get that 1986 Eagle in your sig line to FR2? Pocket Piece?

You're a weirdo, Braddick

braddick: Looks too good for a P001!

Thanks guys!

-Scott: Super weak date. In fact the coin needs to be titled just right to make out the "1986". Lettering is somewhat worn into the rims...I'd go AG03 on a better day but will take FA02 until a PO01 can (ever) be located.

-Xpipedreamr: I know... I know... my wife now just laughs at it all.

-Oreville: The 1877 has a weak enough obverse to place it solidly in the PO01 class. Admittingly the reverse is FA02 but PCI (older style of grading) deemed fit to weigh the obverse heavier than the reverse with the overall grade.

That's one of the later-date PCI green slabs, so it's probably over-graded
