I trapped these things for fur many moons ago. We considered a 20 lb coon huge. We got 12 -18 bucks for the animals depending on their size. There are people on the southside of town that would give you 5-10 bucks for him to eat. I tried it once with hot sauce and sweet taters (slow baked). Not bad but not my cup of tea. When we would sell one for people to eat it would be skinned already (of course...since we were harvesting hides). Nobody would buy it unless you left a foot on him. That way they were sure it was a racoon and not some other animal. Sheesh.
