    Now that's something I've never seen before.

    It was a great coin... now it's moved into another dimension not dead but too costly for a Holey collector and not sure if an Error Collector would spring for it either?

    Off to the "Isle of Misfit Coins" I guess? image

    Looks like it was worn as a pendant.
    I don't think the hole kills it as an error, but his starting price is pretty near market (famous last words).

    You rang?

    Well, you KNOW what I have to say about that. I don't even need to say it. image

    I would make an exception to my 1900 cutoff date to put something like that on the Holey Coin Vest.

    But I'm not actively hunting holeys right now, except for Seated dime love tokens.

    Very cool piece!

    Y'know, the hole just goes to show that it was prized as a curiosity a century ago. They weren't as uptight about holes and cleaning and such things then.

    He's got a bid at $200.

    Without a hole the coin would retail well over $1K, but now it's just a "Trinket"... Sorry LM! image
