    Amazing that someone would even submit that coin for grading. I'd have been so embarrassed with the results
    that it would have been cracked out and put in a roll and sold anonymously.

    I have seen some worthless coins slabbed. But, that has to be near the top. And it definately has to be the most worthless coin I have ever seen on Teletrade. I think the label is worth more than the coin.

    Has someone actually bid $7 for it, or is that some kind of automatic bid? Either way their are more than one afflicted person here in this auction.

    The owner of that coin probably posted it to these boards at one time and said it was found in
    his great aunt's favorite sweater pocket or something and 50% of the responses here said " I'd send it in..."

    Maybe they sent it to teletrade for the free grading offer.
