For some political tokens a hole adds interest because it speaks to the piece's authenticity as a campaign piece. This William Henry Harrison piece still has its ring for suspension. The Sullivan number is WHH 1840-19.

For some reason I missed getting the picture transferred to this post ... sorry.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
In real life, sinkholes are (can be) catastrophic.. they have swallowed homes, cars and people.... On coins, well, some like them, some do not....I hope no people have to encounter the real disaster... Cheers, RickO

I found this in the clean-out pit below the pulper in a recycled paper mill. Sort of like from the bottom of a sinkhole.

I've been known to have just a few "holeys" lying around here and there, on past occasions.
Of course if I'm the King of Holey Coins, then @HoledandCreative is the absolute Emperor.
In Illinois we’d call that a pot hole.
LOL.

Hopefully that sinkhole in the OP doesn't get any bigger!

Worries me to think that the culvert under the driveway might be collapsing...

I hope you do not have to go through any of that.
