    Found this today in a box. It's the most worn half I have come across. I was wondering if you all thought it was low enough to hold onto or just toss back. Thanks!

    If you're a low ball collector that would work. That's the most worn Kennedy I've ever seen. :)

    I'm not a low ball collector but I know they carry a premium to some people :)

    Me either. I don't get the low end, the worse the better. I just don't get that. I want the other end, the highest grade I can afford for the lowest price available. :)

    Someone has an AG03 Eisenhower listed in the classified area for an insane asking price.

    I've got a whole bag of these and I suppose if I just fill my pockets with Ikes every day for the next few years, I can send them all in for grading and get rich!

    I don't think it is worn enough. You can read everything except the time on the clock.

    Go ahead. Give it a try.

    I'd bet even mponey that you'd go through a dozen pairs of pants before any of them showed any appreciable signs of wear.

    These coins are incredibly hard

    We're at the point with Lowballs where anyone considering them "important" is ignoring how many people are involved in creating them to order, so to speak. It's not about cherishing well-circulated coins any longer, and no longer possible to be sure a given example achieved its' look in regular commerce.

    A passing fad, having jumped the shark.
