Let's see those worn out lovely smoothies 
I don't own one, however for some odd reason within the universe seem to be drawn to glancing at them lately 
Thanks in advance

It’s mine now, but will be someone else’s Sunday when the auction ends on the Bay.

Are these pieces a indulgent luxury to get graded and slabbed? Peace Roy

Love them low ball commems........ just not enough to buy them.
PO 01:
PO01 Huge O variety
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.
These are raw and maybe wouldn't straight grade, but still nice coins imo.
1891 dime
1853 dime
A nice low 1796 I picked up at the last FUN show:
"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
That's a cool looking lowball.
Can someone tell me why the wear on the rim and the date looks like less than I expect? Maybe I am not phrasing that right, but the rim and date stand out.
These are painful to look at......
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
Part of my grading set of Morgans - https://pcgs.com/setregistry/showcase/2600
I don't have one but they are easy on the eyes ........ really nothing to examine
........ in a good way
I just picked this baby up! I will likely send it in.
Edited to add photos, d'oh!
??????????????????????
Sorry, forgot to add pictures!
Surfaces look like it was placed in a walnut shell media polisher / tumbler.
This is graded FR02. When I see some of the full date PO01's out there I can't figure it out

Bad transactions with : nobody to date
Let me get better images, I shot this in really low light, at a high ISO so it is quite grainy.
With this coin there would have to be a lot more missing detail to be a poor. The reason? Because it is so easy to identify. No date needed, as it's a one off year?

Save your money. Don't think it will straight grade. Looks to have been blasted with something.

Must be a condition-rarity thing: Prices for PO01-graded coins are crazy!
For example, looking at some ebay sales, PO01 common-date Morgans are more expensive than MS65.

I once had a penny that I swore up and down was a 1909-S VDB. I don't know that it would have even made PO01. I was thinking that putting it on the railroad tracks and letting a freight train run over it might amplify the date, mintmark, and V.D.B. to make believers out of the naysayers.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
They green bean PO1's?

They certainly do.
I can't remember who (my apologies), but someone on the forum called JA to ask what a green CAC sticker meant on a PO-01 coin, and his response was:
"If a PO1 coin has a sticker, it means it's a coin that, while completely worn out, doesn't have too many other issues like minor damage, uneven wear from being bent and straightened, or signs of corrosion or stains or scratches that grading services may consider market acceptable for the grade. It does not mean that a PO1 is any closer to either an FR2 or a completely smooth planchet. It means it's a "wholesome" coin."
@Kyle... Thanks for the explanation. I always thought the CAC designation was an indication that the coin in hand might be a good candidate for an upgrade.

Compare the wear on the PO-01 1879 Morgan to my FR02 Albany. Almost a full date to boot and then tell me mine is a FR02

Well this thread sent me over the edge as I bought my first raw low-ball today and will post once it arrives
Here's my PO01. The Pitting on yours has me puzzled. Looks like pitting on top of a once smooth coin

Fantastic!
Apologies for taking up space.

Hey all, it did straight grade. Now it needs a CAC Red bean, ha ha.
These look to be great condition compared to everything else in this thread!
Here's another one of my favorite lowballs. Can't believe they gave it a FA2!
Maybe wear it down so there’s no more detail in the beaver’s tail?
Here's my only P01 I own.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
That's true. Sorry. But the 26-S is a pop 9-0.
