Picked these up for $7 a piece earlier. Great find for under melt! However I am wondering, are these too good to qualify for a Po 1 grade? Thanks!

Great price!....
I'd say they're dang close to 1
They have far too much detail remaining to qualify as Poor-1 coins.
These are too good to be PO-01 coins.
Here's a FR-02 with less detail than yours.
Here are some PO-01s, though some look undergraded!
they rally look good

My opinion:
Should be no such thing as grade PO-1 or FR-2. For coins in the condition as seen in this thread the potential for wearing the piece by ARTIFICIAL means is great and makes a number assignment essentially meaningless.
Lowest number possible from a grading service for a coin should be AG-3. I propose "melting pot escapee" as the proper designation for coins such as seen here if owner insists on getting the pieces slabbed. A meeting of the minds from the grading service majors (ANACS,ICG,NGC,PCGS) is in order to solve the slicker grading problem once and for all.
OP coins are AG-3's.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
The op coins are AG3
Way too good for PO-1. Look like AG to me.
I would say AG3 from the pictures.... Some of these PO1 coins look as if they have spent time in a vibratory shell cleaner... does it quickly....That being said, (and I know collecting is about personal likes/dislikes), I will never understand the attraction to low grade coins. JMO....Cheers, RickO
Agree with AG03
Oh ricko, always the "cheery" pessimist
@CascadeChris.... I am the incurable optimist....

When in doubt spin the wheel and submit....
My tastes run to higher quality and rarity, but I still carry a singular regret for not buying an 1904 $20 in an old ANACS cache graded P01 for $1065 when spot was maybe $1050. Would have been a Poor Man's score, but, by today's standards, it would surely have upgraded, so would have been virtually worthless.
Looks like a 3 .
