In that condition you would probably be hard pressed to get much for it except as a novelty. I like to keep all the old 1700s/1800s coins I find that are not in good numismatic shape so that I can make a "treasure chest" and tuck it away for any potential offspring to find in the basement or attic one day when they are old enough to appreciate finding a hoard of 300 year old coins! Imagine being a kid in 2045 and finding a the mother-load of 1700/1800s coins - you would think you were Indiana Jones or something.

One of those feebay world coin lots I pick up every once in a while! At first I thought it was a fake coin or an old token.
