Hartshorne exercise III.6.2 (b) - $\mathfrak{Qco}(X)$ need not have enough projectives
Notate $X:=\mathbb{P}^1$
Claim: If $\mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{O}_X\to 0$ where $\mathcal{P}$ quasi-coherent, then there exists some $n$ such that there is a surjection on global sections $H^0(\mathcal{P}(n))\to H^0(\mathcal{O}_X(n))\to 0$
Suppose there is a surjection $\mathcal{P}\stackrel{\phi}{\to} \mathcal{O}_X\to 0$. By Exercise 5.15 in Chapter II we can write $\mathcal{P}$ as a strictly ascending union of its coherent subsheaves, say $\cup \mathcal{P}_i$.
Thus $\mathcal{O}_X=\cup \operatorname{im}\phi_i$ (where $\phi_i$ the appropriate sheaf image). Thus some coherent sheaf surjects onto $\mathcal{O}_X$.
Relabel and consider the exact sequence of coherent sheaves $0\to \mathcal{K}\to \mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{O}_X\to 0$. By Serre's theorem (III.5.2) we can find a sufficiently large integer so that $H^1(X, \mathcal{K}(n))=0$.
Twisting the whole short exact sequence by $\mathcal{O}_X(n)$ (i.e. tensoring with this locally free sheaf) is exact and hence keeps it short exact. Taking the long exact sequence associated to this short exact sequence gives us that $$\cdots\to H^0(X, \mathcal{P}(n))\to H^0(X, \mathcal{O}_X(n))\to H^1(X, \mathcal{K}(n))=0$$ Thus on global sections we have a surjection $H^0(\mathcal{P}(n))\to H^0(\mathcal{O}_X(n))$.
Now use the projective assumption (and the hint). Since we have a surjection $\mathcal{O}_X(-n-1)\to k(x)\to 0$, and by assumption we have a map $\mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{O}_X\to k(x)$ there exists a map $\mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{O}_X(-n-1)$ making the appropriate diagram commute.
Now twist everything by $n$ and take global sections. You get a surjection onto a non-zero group factoring through $0$ (since $H^0(X, \mathcal{O}_X(-1))=0$) a contradiction. Thus no such surjection $\mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{O}_X$ can exist.
I'll show the non-existence of projectives in the category of coherent sheaves on $X$.
Let $\mathcal P$ be a non-zero projective coherent sheaf and $\mathcal P \stackrel {p}\to \mathcal O_X$ a surjective morphism.
Let $\mathcal L$ be a line bundle that we will determine later and $\mathcal L \stackrel {ev}{\rightarrow} \underline {\mathcal L(x)} \to 0$ the evaluation at $x$, with values in the sky-scraper sheaf associated to the fiber of $\mathcal L$ at $x$.
We choose a surjective morphism $\mathcal O \stackrel {c}{\rightarrow}\underline {\mathcal L(x)}$ and obtain by projectivity of $\mathcal P$ a commutative diagram
$$\begin{matrix}
\mathcal P&\stackrel {p}\rightarrow&\mathcal O_X\\
\downarrow&&\downarrow{c}\\
\mathcal L&\stackrel {ev}{\rightarrow}&\underline {\mathcal L(x)}
\end{matrix}
$$
Now take $n$ big enough for the induced morphism on global sections $\Gamma(X,\mathcal P(n))\to \Gamma(X,\mathcal O_X(n))$ to be surjective.
We then have a commutative diagram
$$\begin{matrix}
\mathcal P(n)&\rightarrow&\mathcal O_X(n)\\
\downarrow&&\downarrow\\
\mathcal L(n)& \rightarrow &k
\end{matrix}
$$
We decide now to take $\mathcal L=\mathcal O_X(-n-1)$, we take global sections in the above diagram and we obtain $$\begin{matrix}
\Gamma(X,\mathcal P(n))&\rightarrow&\Gamma(X,\mathcal O_X(n))\\
\downarrow&&\downarrow\\
\Gamma(X,\mathcal L(n))=\Gamma(X,\mathcal O(-1))=0& \rightarrow &k
\end{matrix}
$$
This is a contradiction because the lower composition $ \Gamma(X,\mathcal P(n))\rightarrow \Gamma(X,\mathcal L(n))=0 \rightarrow k $ is zero whereas the upper compsition $ \Gamma(X,\mathcal P(n))\rightarrow \Gamma(X,\mathcal O_X(n)) \rightarrow k $ is not zero.
