    It would pay to have that coin professionally repaired (crs-stockton.com). As it is now, the value is quite low.

    They had a ready made spot to aim the drill!

    There actually is such a circle included in the designs of the 1860 "wealth of the south" presidential Civil War tokens. It's a small circle at the top of the obverse.

    That coin could be repaired, however, it will always be a 'holed, repaired' coin.... too bad... Cheers, RickO

    I kind of like the coins that have been around. Dusty cabinets are stagnant.

    Yes, but you have damage at the top of the obverse around the word "Liberty" too. This coin has too many issues to spend more money on for repairs.

    I was hoping that it was not an "eye" or an "ear".
