  FR02 is about the second-lowest grade, where P01 is the lowest (a readable date and a discernable variety, but not much else in details). So the grades go P, FR, AG, G F, etc.
  
  Edited because I goofed! I forgot about P01! DOH!

  FR = Fair. The grades that are below Good are About Good (AG-3), Fair (FR-2), and Poor (PO-1).

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  Thanks to braddick, we have board experts on both extremes of the grading spectrum.

  IMHO Fr 02 is much more of a legitimate grade than MS 61,62, 64, 66, 68, 69 and 70 all of which are phony marketing grades designed to relieve the gullible from large sums of cash.
