Why couldn't they have just left it alone?

As some on this forum would attest, a coin holed a century or two ago may even add interest to a coin. To butcher such a coin seems to add insult to injury.

Well, it looks like LordM just scratched this one off his "To Buy" list!

if that coin is cheep, i'd buy it in a second. that can very easily & convincingly be fixed.

Did they solder that?? It looks nasty.

No, I don't think seller wants cheap money.

I'm no grader but w/o the "problem" I guess it's around a vf20.

Seller has a "buy it now" price of $5,000.

Send it to stockton.

vf seems too strong, i'd guess fine detail. stockton could definitely help this coin.
