I know it has some flaws but I liked the detail in this coin. 1 - what do you think caused the two holes? 2 - how much do you think it detracts from its value?

XF the holes? maybe an old tool like a punch or maybe even a nail that was tapped into it, can't guess why, but back when it happened not many people were collecting them I'd wager. The damage looks old.

Someone has been rather rough with Lady Liberty's right breast.

EF40 details.
I like the rays and arrows on these coins.

Ef-45 details. The damage is not too serious, and the eye appeal is still good. Probably net F-12 or VF-20, and I am leaning toward net VF.
