Someone rubbed a common zinc cent on a piece of sandpaper. Artificial wear.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

6 years later, here is another. 1890cc
This should really be a Poor but PCGS didn't think so. This certainly does not make the 2 grade.... will crack and resubmit someday (I've done that exactly once and went backward on the grade (64 to 63).

In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson

Close enough.
I found it in my dryer.
Just thought it had a cool look about it as most going through the dryer get that grated/shredded look.

Putting it in that generic holder was confusing to me at first.

I was hoping for a P01, but close, and a pop of 1 😅

Not mine, anymore. Went for $44 in ebay auction last month.
I figured it was fair.
A couple of my favorite copper slugs!
I owned a PCGS P01 1913-S quarter, but I sold it in a weak moment. I’ll see if I can locate a pic, as it would fit nicely in the thread.

Currently the lowest graded coin in my set, G4. Seems like it should have been a VG8.
Straight graded. VG08

Not graded, but certainly a lowball.
My great grandfather found it in a flower bed.
Date is 1865 and in person it is a smooth chocolate brown.
Type collector, mainly into Seated. -formerly Ownerofawheatiehorde. Good BST transactions with: mirabela, OKCC, MICHAELDIXON, Gerard

You have the key. Now to get the rest of the series in po01 with cac stickers. That could cost a king his kingdom.
I'm surprised it graded that high. They probably didn't have another one that worn to compare it to.

I hear ya, but at least now you can post it in your "Post A Slabbed Coin Not Worth The Slabbing Cost." thread
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
LoL!! Yes, you are exactly right. Excellent point! 😂 👍🏻

Thanks spyglassdesign
Wasn’t sure as this is the US Coin Forum,
Maybe I will post a couple more then.
These are two of my Wheaties. I think the top one is a 1919 D and the lower one is a 1910 from what I can tell under the scope.
Another Canadian lowball silver dollar
Or take them all out of the Dansco and use underhand means to "tumble" wear them to PO 01 levels
