Low grade Gold - what do you think it would grade?

eBay pickup. What do you think it would grade?

FR-02 based on the obverse.

Fr-2 was my guess, as well.

I had no idea that such low grade US gold even existed. What's really remarkable is that it isn't all scratched and chewed up.

It's been used as a pocket piece since...1899.

Fair-02... at best.

Neat coin!!

Bodybag... I don't like the hairlines across the obverse... though that could just be an artifact of the image...

For the grade, the hairlines are not disturbing and would not, IMO, warrant a BB. Would anyone seriously send it in for grading...other than as a joke?

YES.....I'd send it in as I collect low grade gold. For comparison purposes, here's a $5 in AG03 (perhaps undergraded as the obverse is better than AG03).

Here's some other low grade coins ranging from PO01 to AG03 (except the $1 gold which is a VG8). Tough to find stuff.....

Pretty sweet!!!! I like the coins....don't see that kind of wear everyday on Gold.

Craig, neat coin! These are rarely seen below VF or so.
I'd go 80% shot at FA02 with a 20% shot at PO01, but all that hinges on the reverse.
