<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1712388, member: 44079&quot;]that is below G4 in condition, but you can still tell what it used to be?&nbsp; 4 Decades ago Poor was an accepted coin term, but I don&#039;t see it being used much anymore (except by me).&nbsp; I mean, like for instance, I have what was once a bare breasted Standing Liberty quarter (she wore off long ago), but there is no date on it anymore and only the lack of stars under the bird on the reverse tells me it used to be either a 1916 or an early 1917 quarter.&nbsp; I have many Mercury dimes on which the date merged with the rim decades ago, and only the distinctive front and back tells me what kind of dime it used to be.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also have a half dime which requires magnification to make out the &#039;half dime&#039; and traces of the wreath with the obverse date side worn smooth.&nbsp; Only half a grade above a &#039;piece of silver&#039; or a slug.&nbsp; What do we call coins of such condition when they are below any talk of &#039;Good?&#039;&nbsp; Poor 1, poor 2?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
