    Nice holed coins. I like the Barber Dime and Seated quarter. I wonder what mint the dime was struck at.

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    You picked up, but were you sure to drop it all back in the box again before leaving the store? image

    Dthigpen and Lordmarco...what do you guys think of coins with two holes in 'em? I know you love holed, but can there be too many holes in a holed coin to make it undesirable for the 'holey' crowd?

    Pretty nice bunch !
    Did you get them because they had holes or because they were cheap ?

    Hey Ken, Sometimes you see really great coins that are never even noticed because they have holes in them and are overlooked. Nice bunch of holed coins you got there. I wouldn't buy an ubber rare pop 1 rarity with a hole, but you can get some great coins- like some nice bust coinage- at great prices, coins that you may never be able to afford otherwise.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    You are correct. There are a lot of very nice coins out there with holes!

    When do you think the IHC was holed?
    I noticed that the hole is rectangular, which could indicate it was made by an old square nail.

    Most likely the hole was made by a square nail. I wouldn't venture a guess as to when though!

    I have a few two-holed pieces, but if they're like that, I prefer 'em top-and-bottom rather than side-by-side. Those 3cN's were obviously on a bracelet at one time.

    I heartily approve of your junk, K. Nicely done.

    Strangely, the Barber dime is my favorite. Generally you just don't see as much holey Barber stuff as you do holey Seated stuff.

    The one 3cN, seated quarter, and barber dime had attempts made to repair the holes. I simply ran a very small drill into the fix material and cleaned the hole out!

    I have a bunch of Bust halves that I need to "unfix"...

    Bust halves seem to have been a favorite for holey coins!
