Personally, for seated material I like to see no stars or words for a solid PO01. I could see this going either way, a "weak" 01 or "strong" 02 (assuming you are going for a 1).

Don't you mean a strong P01 or a weak FR02?
I'm talking about strong vs weak details; It has strong details for P01 but weak details for F02. I understand what you mean by weak P01 and strong FR02, but I think it's interesting to notice how the terms "strong" and "weak" would be used much differently were the coin, say, mint-state.

Agree. No stars. And preferably no reverse peripheral lettering - or at least unreadable to a non-collector. That's a solid PO1.
FR02. Would not want to pay the lowball PO1 premium for this coin.
If I send a coin to a TPG that has a VF obv and an EF reverse, the coin will come back VF. Perhaps the 1878-CC has a PO01 obv and a FR02 reverse so it becomes reverse thinking by the TPG and the coin grades FR02.

Yeah, I'm always amused that it works this way... but it does.

I think when you are going for a "low-ball" set, everything works in revearse.

I'd have called ajaan's coin PO1, but can see that it's not.

<< <i>PO1 is on the edge of gone in my book >>
Yes, but you have to recognize the date. That's the tough part of getting a PO01 coin into a holder.

That one looks textbook P01. Missing stars, missing legend, but date just visible enough to read.

...in some cases it means the sticker cost more than the coin itself
