Look at it this way: if everybody kept every coin they came across in perfect condition then we wouldn't appreciate high grade coins as much. It is because so many things happen to coins that there are so few left in high grade.
Carl; the hole goes all the way thru. It's been plugged with mabey lead.

Tell us the year this New Orleans coin was minted.
You may have to research the size and placement of the mintmark, as well as the placement of the date numerals. First though, check to see which years dollars were minted at the New Orleans facility.

Roadrunner; You are correct that is has some problems but still a very nice original example without the hole.

There is one known 1851-O dollar. Someone at the Philadelphia mint was trying to make restrike 1851 dollars and tried using a 1846-O dollar for the planchet. The strike was strong enough to wipe out the underdate but only flattened and weakened the O mintmark. Another of these restrikes exists on I believe an 1859 dollar on which the underdat is visible. At that point the mint midnight minter must have decided that struck coins didn't make good planchets because I think those are the only two of the 1851 restrikes that show an undertype.
