    That IS cool!
    I have two lowball 1921 Peace yet neither have the obverse rims so prevalent as yours.
    Truly spectacular!

    Had to be one owner for a long stretch. Cool.

    That (OP) is super wear.... Never understood the fascination with these, but collectors will collect. If one is collecting, then go for the best.... and that is a winner. Cheers, RickO

    Are there price guides for low balls? Do they come up for sale often enough to have a track record?

    The PCGS Price Guide of course :)

    PCGS thinks so!

    Check out that price movement in the PCGS Price Guide!

    I appreciate the coins that keep their date and mint mark no matter how worn they get, until they are completely smooth

    You'll like this one then!

    Interestingly, the PCGS Price Guide has FR02 at $150, which is much less than PO01 at $300!

    Lowballs . Isn’t it one word.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Does PCGS check for "artificial wear"?

    That lowball is totally AW!

    Hmm. Any 21st century clad coin with that much wear, pretty much gotta be AW.

    How does a TPG access if a lowball coin is indeed Naturally Worn? OH, a new term in coin collecting? NW as opposed to AW and they can actually give a NW or AW grade? Amusing.........................I guess better than a cricket though.

    EDIT: AH, HA - that's what that pocket is for - perfect size for a silver dollar too...........

    AW has certain tell tale patterns which can show if a coin was done in a tumbler, washing machine or other approaches.

    Amusing.........................I guess better than a cricket though.

    Are you sure? Which one is worth more?

    Well, if you ever crack the slab, worn coin is worth more than cricket fragments.

    Sure, but that's exactly why the cricket is worth more, because it shouldn’t be slabbed!

    Well, my arm is up, hand is flapping with a oh,oh, and a puzzled look on my face.
    I pulled this photo out because I'm not quite 100% on its history. (If I may)
    Looks too me as AW because its a structured pattern of smoothness with no signs of tampering as the edge is also still in tact. Take a look.
