Hi Everyone- I'm a US coin guy and post reqularly on the US Coin forum. I was helping a dealer friend of mine in his shop yesterday and he asked me to sort a tray of miscellaneous coins. This coin was one of them. I showed it to him and told him I thought it was interesting, and he told me I could have it. I realize the holes probably erase any numismatic value, but could someone tell me what this is and where it's from? I know VI on a British coin means sixpence, but this doesn't look like any I've seen before... thanks in advance!

Looks like a Paderborn (German State) 6 Pfennig.
Civitas has one for sale on eBay now ... ebay.com/itm/GERMAN-STATES-Paderborn-1718-6-Pfennig-WC70512-/292114468876?hash=item440361100c:g:8m0AAOSwGJlZFSEF

Holes, shmoles. It's almost 300 years old and cool. And now, yet another German State to do do some reading on....
