Low ball 1893 nickel

[atarian]

Im guessing its a Fair-02 by PCGS standards never had a reason to have it slabbed but i hear Poor-01s bring nice money so im debating it.
The coin is a 1893 and wanted to get your opinion on grade

Where did you hear that coins graded FR-01 get good money, Jay?

You can pick up these at MS grades for a hundred bucks or so. Unfortunately I don't think you could even recover the costs of grading with this coin.

I know that some collectors on coin and paper sides collect low balls kinda like going for the high high ends. might be 50 or 100 depending on the coin and year. but some people collect it as a challenge. i dont know how many actually do this but some do and not that im selling i find it cool i have something witha date that might be in that range

At least the date is readable... I do not know but I would imagine that someone collects them... Don't think there would be any value in the slabbing though!!!

I'd grade it Poor-01. Premium on the lowest grade? You gotta be kidding! I ought to start wearing down some of my AG-03s...

I only think there are people for it cause in paper there is a big following on PCGS currency ( enough to have competitions over the lower type set and all) that collect paper currency down to Poor 1 . I figured coin people must do the same someplace . Perhaps im wrong but just thinking out loud.

my first thought is too much detail for 01. i think it might get a 02 ???

why dont yah ask over on PCGS.. NGC forum ?
