<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 142166, member: 4626&quot;]Quite possibly this was kept in someone&#039;s pocket and rubbed repeatedly for good luck or some such.&nbsp; I had a 1974 Kennedy half that looked about AG-3 and that was my guess how it acquired so much wear in only about 30 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d agree with PO-1.&nbsp; To be honest, I&#039;ve never seen any coin under AG-3 in a slab; I&#039;m sure if you got it slabbed and put it on eBay someone would want it just for the sake of novelty... should get back the grading fee at least.&nbsp; To actually make a profit would take finding a special buyer who would pay more for the novelty than the value of the coin plus the grading fee... but I&#039;m sure that buyer is out there somewhere.&nbsp; Or just keep it for novelty&#039;s sake yourself.&nbsp; If the Kennedy half was a rare coin more than 150 years old, I wouldn&#039;t mind owning it in that condition... I think it&#039;s interesting to see what modern coins will end up looking like with that much wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
