Anyone want to see a holed $1,000 coin?

Such a tragedy, but it is what it is!

Holed AND with graffiti.... was likely a necklace... Cheers, RickO

And the surfaces look like it was lost and buried, recently found with a metal detector. Somebody was very sad when they lost this. --Jerry

Can you elaborate on how an 1818 CBQ with the details of a G/VG would be worth 1K without a hole?

Edited to add: O.K.so the resolution of your image kinda hides those clashed arrowheads... WIW as is ?

Your question in the thread title was somewhat benign.

I'm not sure if a holed one would count toward the Rarity rating. I believe that one dealer has them listed as R6 (the ones w/ arrow heads).

I didn't know they made Bust Quarters in 181........

Of course it would count - IT clearly exists and is identifiable as such! Who cares if it's damaged or not, the main part of a census is to figure out how many of a certain die marriage exists and see how the grade/condition distributions play out.

In terms of true rarity, I'm inclined to now call this an R5 (not R5+) die marriage. I know of at least 6-7 which are available for sale at this given moment. R6 may deal with whether this die marriage shows clashing or not!

And here I thought you were going to show a Mexican 1000 peso coin from 1989. I kind of wish you had.

nice coin, love the clash, I'd collect it if the price were right.

look up what this 1797 13 star half dime would be worth without the hole.



what's interesting is that for the same price as a coin with all this nice detail and surfaces for examination, you could instead buy a coin that "grades no-problem fair" with very little detail, and could also have "acceptable for the grade" surface problems.

Of course, some collectors (many) would say, "'if i cant afford a nice one, I'll do without"

such differences are what makes a market

or, how about a rare 1805 B-5 quarter, also would be worth a thousand without the hole/plug



don't like it, think it's ugly? let's see yours

I too believe the coin is an R-6. Or a 6- if we could pretend such a thing. Yours might even be more rare with the hole in it.

I like the way you think...this is an R8 with the hole in it
