Wish I had one to show you @braddick!! A beautiful Peace Dollar!
I'd love to see you try that, then submit the coin for grading! 🤣 😂
This is one I posted before (not mine).
It is graded as 1795 PO01 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21) but do not know how that was determined.

Pretty sure this an 1893-S. Right?

my $13 worth
@davewesen On your $3, did PCGS call it a Large or Medium S? Thanks.
just called it 1856-S
I have an old IHC somewhere that I have had since I was a kid... really the only true 'lowball' I have... No picture, I will have to find it first....and that could take a while
Cheers, RickO
Sounds like me, I know I have some stuff, but have no idea where

Not a TrueView but definitely a lowball. 1794 S-43
1800/79 PO1
I have a set of 1919 halves that I consider for grading as lowballs, but these make me hesitate.
I'm sure that will result in the dreaded Artificial Wear rating!
Wow, this is a sweet one!
Not super lowball but a FR and an AG I recently got back with TrueViews.
Seated Dollar Collection
Here's one of my favorites
Don't ask, I can't see it either. Although it is my oldest and lowest graded coin.
EDIT: Ooops, sorry. It's not a TrueViews.
Am surprised the trueview of the following coin did not have any details.

Where is @AndrewEdelman when you need him?
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
It's almost impossible to get a Shield nickel to grade P1. I have an 1872 that went fair 2 unfortunately.
I have a Fair 2 as well. I imagine if I crack it out and get it to a P1, I may not be able to get the pedigree back!
Zoins, that Pilgrim may be the neatest lowball I've seen. Though I like the OP's Peace Dollar as well. Hmm.... I may be getting into these despite myself!
PS sorry late to the party 🎉

@pocketpiececommems - Can you actually see the date in-hand?
Can’t see the date at all🤔

🤔 🤷♂️ Hmmm, maybe they have a way to detect that.
Tonedeaf is a nickname given to me in reference to my guitar playing ability.
If I started a thread: "Post Your Oldest, Lowest Graded American Coin" do you think I would win? 😂 🤣
I looked at @Zoins Fugio above. Mine is MUCH worse! 😂 🤣
Much better to use a rock tumbler. The tumbler is where the real low ball magic happens.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

The reverse is the clue 😊

Clue for me is the absence of a hole in the center.
