    Even Lady Liberty looks upset at being holed!

    I'll assume you're jesting. If you haven't got a copy of Breen/Gillio "California Fractional Gold", I'll be glad to provide the necessary info on rarity. I just photographed an 1875 BG-849 octagonal 1/4 $ today(yes, it is holed) which is rated a high R-5. Even with the hole, this one is worth well over melt...

    It's a nice piece of history... but nope - not worth much in AU grade let alone holed. It's not a rare variety either. The majority of known examples of this variety are found in TPG mint state grades. At least the hole provides character image

    Let's see Coinduece says it is a high R-5 (31 - 45 known) and 1798centcollector says it is not a rare variety. Now I realize that a lot of the varieties may be this rare or rarer, but I still consider an R-5+ coin as rare. (Maybe not expensive, but rare)

    Writersblock, I was referring to the The BG-912 "jgrinz" picked up in the Heritage auction and led the thread off with. It is an R3 coin. This is not a "rare" coin either by numbers or condition. Coinduece was referring to his own coin, the BG-849, as an R5, I assume. It's actually an R6 if you look at the PCGSs numbers.

    NOW that I have this "HOLEY" wonder ...

    Should I waste my time to show you a better picture of it ...

    Should I Break it out and sell it raW ON sLEEZE BAY to to recover the hole in my pocket ...

    Should I have my Brother the Jeweler fill that thar hole - buff it down and Sell on Sleeze bay
    as repaired ( Repair disclosed of course )

    OR shoud I mount it and frame it and hang it - Pray to it as the "holey " thing it is .. ( Upon bended knee of curse ) spelling on purpose for comic relief - MINE .

    Writersblock, you misread my post. I stated that my BG-849 is a high R-5. Not the BG-912 posted here... image I merely speculated that the BG-912 might be a rarity before I had an opportunity to review it in Breen/Gillio.

    It is on its way here as we speak. image

    Will be a nice addition to my Holey Gold Hat. I already have a small holey octagonal California fractional on it, but the hole in that one goes through the edge, so the coin was "unwearable" until repaired, which I had not gotten 'round to.

    This is a nice upgrade for me and I'll probably sell my old one, now, and split the proceeds with the generous donor who gave it to me.
