    Allen Stockton of Coin Restoration Service (crsstockton.com) can repair that hole so you would never know it was there. I've heard from reliable sources that some of his work now rests in straight graded top tier slabs.

    Many years ago, I saw the movie "Pink Flamingos." This grosses me out as much as the final scene of that film.

    Is it yours? If so, I definitely would check about having it repaired. Don't think you could lose if repaired and in a gennie holder.

    if it gets repaired it would at least be noted for the grade and the details

    The coin is indeed mine (No, I didn’t do the drilling).

    Allen worked on a rare Seated Dollar for me years ago that turned out great. I hadn’t considered sending him this but it does make sense.

    P.E. Stockton repaired a 70-cc dollar that had been worked over a LOT by whacking with a knife. ALL AROUND the rim.
    and
    A 1795 F.H dollar that was holed.

    I made pencil rubbings (this was a lonnnng time ago) just to see what came back.
    Pre-slab days.
    Looking pretty dang closely, I could not see the repairs.

    I went from “aww” when I opened the thread and saw the hole, to “OH NO” after I saw the date. That’s a true numismatic tragedy.

    They probably took a look at the date and said “well, this one is messed up anyway. Might make a pretty necklace, though. I hope nobody notices the flaw in the numbers…” sounds of drilling and the hearts of numismatists breaking

    I would do it if I were you since you had a positive experience previously.

    Heartbreaking?

    No, it's a dream come true for that next Eliasberg working on a holed date and mint set of all US coins.

    No not heartbreaking. 1918/7 quarter in any condition is desirable and collectable. It is damaged but a survivor. Might be worth $1000 +- to someone.

    The hole maybe the only reason that coin survived. It could have worn down to a slick in circulation. Just a thought to relieve the why

    I'm going with this.

    I think SLQs were almost as bad as Buffalo nickels for dates being worn off.

    That is too bad.... Non collectors do not even consider such things when making jewelry or mementos. Their focus is on memorabilia, gift, or commerce. Cheers, RickO

    Heartbreaking? Hardly...
    But I'm someone who finds mint state coins to be very dull indeed.

    Heartbreaking... probably not, but the Gobrecht Dollar and the 1794 Half brought a tear to my eye. I was going to ask about the possible 1792 Half Disme... but I decided ignorance is bliss...

    Heartbreaking if you're a collector of that series.
