I would think that the "dings/pockmarks" (3 small on obverse - 1 large on reverse) would get it BB'd?? (I've never yet submitted a coin for grading, but that was my guess).

Considering the condition don't you think they would net grade it?
I am not a lowball submitter, but I would think it would BB. Obvious damage. Since there is nowhere on the submission form that distinguishes between a normal submission & a lowball submission, the 'rules' should be the same.......right?
The dent on the reverse is the biggest issue. If it were only the two on the obverse I think you might be okay....the one on the reverse though...I'd say the odds are less than 50/50 that it would slab.

The reverse would definitely keep that coin out of a holder, IMHO. That's part of the challenge of a lowball set, and why some of these PO-01 coins are legitimately tough to find that will grade - it's hard for a coin to to circulate that long without being damaged.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

gotta defintely disagree. many many coins circulated until being worn down to slicks w/out being damaged. however, they have been removed from circulation after having outlived their usefulness, hence their attrition rate. take a look at any number of slick buffs & slqs
gotta agree though that the subject coin is remarkably well worn but still having a date!

Anyone else have an opinion on whether it would bodybag due to "damage" (or whatnot)??
Obvious damage.

Maybe a question for Ron & David?
