What do you think of my new Pilgrim? Think it would make it as a P01?

Or does it need to spend more time in a pocket? image

    You got a loooooong way to go if you aspire for P-01. image

    Seriously, since this is a one year, one mint coin, all you have to do is wear it down until you can just make out one side of the coin. No wording or dates are necessary to positively identify it as a Pilgrim.

    Heck, you can go so far as to wear down the reverse until it's perfectly smooth.

    I have a FR-02 with more wear. I would say AG-03

    How long has it been in your pocket?

    I thought they were minted in 1920 and 1921? I realize that the 1921 was just the date added on the right side.

    Actually it hasn't been in my pocket yet. I picked it up at Stacks in NY last friday when I was in town on for a management seminar. The seminar ended an hour early on Friday and I made it over to Stacks before it closed. I managed to find a nice 1851 London Great Exhibition Medal for MrsSpud (she has a nice collection of medals from this exhibition), a lightly peripherally toned Walker for a set I am putting together and this Pilgrim. I couldn't resist the Pilgrim when I saw how nice and evenly it had been worn down. It must have been someones pocket piece for quite a while by the looks of it.

    I have a Pilgrim PCGS AG03 that is your coin's twin (but more of a dark gray).
