*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***Hi all, I found this coin which is set in wax, initial search leads me to believe it is only worth a few £. Just wanted to get a second opinion really to see if its worth opening the wax to check for errors etc. Thanks

 Never heard about wax being used,it is always Lucite Plastic (epoxy).What does the bottom and side look like? John1  |

Hi there, to be fair it probably could be epoxy.
I can't see the other side of the coin!

I was talking about the other side of the item not the coin. I think you should not try and remove the coin,leave as is. John1 |

Thanks for your reply. I take it there is not much value in these?

Yes, you are right, no extra value. It's strictly a novelty item. I would say that it's worth nothing as is, but if you removed the coin, it would be worth 50 cents.

Its worth 50 cents (USD) if you can get it out, but it might cost you a few pounds to get it out.

Yeah I agree, just leave it as is. Plenty of '73 Kennedy's to be had out there, in even better condition!

Warning: It is very hard to crack coins out of the plastic. It is extremely hard and often breaks into sharp pieces. Another reason to leave it as it is.
