1 or 2???

1.5 rounding to 2

FR2

Too much "meat" for PO1

Could go either way, and I would not disagree if I saw it in a Poor-01 holder.

Nice "smoothie".

Maybe they'd split the difference, like they did here.

FWIW I have never seen a 2 with the Eagle's eye missing and the shield worn this much. I call it 1.75

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.

I would go with 02 on this coin.... Cheers, RickO

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

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.

claychaser

FR 2 for almost sure. Just too much meat left on the bone!

ill give it a 2

Getting a TPG to grade a coin PO01 isn't the easiest thing to do. Here's an example of a Canadian Dollar that graded Fair 2:

ajaan

What do you think this one was graded?

FR2. PO1 is on the edge of gone in my book, and this one is still a couple steps back from that edge.

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

ajaan

<< <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.

segoja

a clear (pun intended) 02

Ablinky

I'm in the 2 camp as well.

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

DCW

I say "2."

So what does a CAC sticker mean on a FR2? Not close to 1 or not close to 3?

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

I've seen several PO01's that have a lot less wear than this one. A little more wear on the 8 and it get's a no grade. Still a hard to find date.

ajaan

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.

Davideo

I'd call this one a pretty solid PO01. Don't know what PCGS said, and often don't care.

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