I've never seen one so worn. Cool!

1866-S PCGS AG-03

  • How do you spell "LOWBALL?"

    Now that piece has seen some Western commerce!

    The obverse yes, but the reverse is too strong for an overall FA2.
    AG3 is right.

    that coin has been for sale by TFNC (whatever) for the last year....
    if it had more eye appeal and patina i would have bought it long
    ago. I need a no motto to match up with my 1866S with motto
    I bought from RYK.

    I am all for low ball coins but golly whiz they better have awesome
    eye appeal. otherwise some more meat on the bones looks so much
    better.

    otherwise the only coin I used to own that could compete with it
    is this very common but lovely 1887S.

    My lowest gold is an AG3 PanPacific and an AG3 1903 McKinley.
  • I once had a seated quarter that was so worn it appeared to be an unstruck planchet...All except for the date, which was strangely full.

    did only one mint mint the coin that year? that would be an awesome
    lowcall coin if you could determine the mint.

    here is my seated quarter i am very proud of. Minted in S. still visible.

    I could post an equal grade currently part of the dizzyfox collection but not lower.

    If memory serves it was an 1856...like an idiot i accidentily sold it in a pile of junk silver...No way could the mint have been determined though
