Busties are my all-time favorite in very low grade. The profiles on both faces are just about perfect.

 

I like the "graffiti" on the second one especially if it was done way back when. Makes me wonder what that coin has seen in its lifetime.

 

cac lowball

 

Yes, I like it too. Here's a story about the coin from when I bought it several years ago.

You win.

 

Uhh, yeah

Thank God it didn't gold bean though

 

If anything I see more low ball coins popping up on auction sites with higher prices.

 

Yeah. I had a half dime I had nothing in I sent to pcgs. Unfortunately it was the one coin I sent that graded too high. Fr 2. I'll post a pic when I get home this weekend

 

Would that have meant it was even worse?

 

There's a rumor that CAC will start the black bean for overgraded low ballers.

 

I think we started that rumor. Actually, I think it was me lol

 

Mind officially blown. Someone get JA on the phone!

 

Still a lowball

 

No I think it meant it was a solid for grade nice original problem free worn flat copper. And a higher grade would have been good in this case

 

True. But probably worth more in a lower grade

 

I had the same thing happen on a Fugio I was trying to low ball... Came back FR02... Ugh.

 

That's really neat. Thanks for posting that. I love civil war history and that coin could have been up close and personal to the battlefield. Really cool coin.

 

Wait is that PR as in Proof?
