Lord M - any comments?

These pictures were posted on another forum by someone who keeps insisting that the hole must be a planchet defect.image

One of his arguments that it wasn't done with a nail or similar object is that:

<< <i>IF someone was going to put a hole in it, to put on a string or make a pendant, only the village idiot would put it where it is rather than on the top center. >>



What percentage of your vast collection of holed coins have the holes substantially away from top dead centerimage

    I guess you'd put the hole right in the middle of the red X? image

    While I dunno about percentages, I have 'em all over the place: in the center, at the top, off to one side, multiple holes, square holes, round holes, jagged, rough holes, and small, tidy holes. I prefer a small, tidy hole near the top rim, of course.

    Holey coins are as individual as snowflakes. image
