<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2770831, member: 36230"]To put it bluntly, at best the OP coin is heavily circulated, damaged, and trashed, meaning that before they invest into getting it, likely as a one-off submission, into plastic, it would behoove them to do a little homework. Regardless of the date/mint, this person needs to learn what a reasonable value (wholesale and/or achievable retail) would be, raw and slabbed, and only then decide if submitting is worthwhile. The fact is the market for such a coin is rather slim, and is something that generally appeals only to budget-type buyers. It is a very real possibility that they'd pocket less, after investing in top-tier plastic, than they would simply selling as-is, and this is aside from the time and effort they'd invest in submitting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, if they feel plastic is a must, they'd be wise to consider the other more affordable yet still acceptable options.
