After sitting in my desk for almost 25 years, I sent her in. She straight graded!

    It’s either a 1 or a 2, depending.

    The reverse would make it PO-01, which oddly makes it more valuable because the grade is sought after by many collectors. Congrats!

    Congratulations! You "got the grade", did you send it in under economy?

    I did. I had an extra slot, so I figured why not. There’s just something fun about P01s.

    The highly coveted PCGS P01😂. Population of 1.

    Nice work @jclovescoins and @BillJones. I personally thought it would go F2. I think the slick reverse brought it down a notch, thank God.

    Sorry about the lousy iPhone pic, but here she is

    Dave

    The good news is that a, P001 is accurate here, and b, it probably has as much value, possibly even more to the right person, than a FR2................................. Nice coin!

    That is much rarer. Those late date half cents seldom grade less than Choice VF sharpness.
