    Found this for junk silver price and it is completely worn but you can still see what the date is... barely. Anyhow I am really tempted to send it in and go for a PO-1 grade as there is none on PCGS pop guide. It would be interesting to see but would it get details? Thoughts? Anyways it is a cool cheap find! Edit: rim nick bottom left corner on the reverse, minor though

    It may come back "Details" for that bump on the reverse.

    It's better than P-01. At least AG-02 or even 03. They have to be pretty smooth and featureless on both sides for an 01. This has a lot of detail left.
    1916 is a great date. I don't see anything below the word TRUST on the obverse.
    Can you tell if it is a D or S? 1916 Philly is a great coin. (S is better) But the Philly is better than the Denver that year.

    This. There are only two PCGS P01's in the whole series, both S-mint coins.

    You'd have a lot MORE than a rim nick if you had been circulated for 101 years!

    I'd say that it's a '16 plain.
