    The title implies that you believe the hole is a bad thing and not a blessing, Do you not like this piece? If you don't, feel free to PM me and I'll purchase it from you for a fair price image

    I like them, very nice and original, do you collect holed coins? Usually a lot of history in holed Frankies, a lot of soldiers wore them on their tags/on loops in pocket for good luck in Vietnam.

    It was actually a holed 1942 Walking Liberty half that got me started collecting coins. My grandfather had it on him through World War II, my Father through Vietnam, and then I did through a war and various combat ops during my years in the Army. But from what I understand, holed franklins were considered 'good luck' and many Vietnam soldiers carried them, so a lot of contemporarily holed ones that you find could very well have been carried by a man in combat image
