Do You Ever Buy Canadian Coins That Have "Problems"?

No holed coins ever. Back in the day, people used to hang those around their necks, before the invent of wallets.

I collect Victorian silver, so I'm never too picky about the condition of the coins that I buy.

i wonder if a jeweler would be able to repair something like that?

would you be better off with a patch or the hole?

ty, was it the 1893 ten cents with round top 3?

I will never buy a holed coin I've bought some with minor rim nicks but I just cant buy something thats painful to look at such as a holed coin

I bought a holed silver coin for melt once too. I jokingly complained about the hole, and the seller replied "I'm not charging you for the hole!"

True enough!

Interesting, I have a couple that would need a comment or two, but if it completes a series, that is out of range , maybe , the love token ?
I like the idea of an era love token , if I did'nt have one in low grade I would consider $500.00 , as at this post its 850.00 probably not.

I really hate rim dings and used to think that I would not want one, ever. Then I came across an 1872-H Twenty-Five Cents with the Die Break V in Victoria in Good with a small ding, so I bought it. For $15 I figured that I would live with the ding since the coin appears to have value beyond the normal 1872-H.

A year or so later I came across an 1874-H Twenty-Five Cents with the upside-down VVV's for AAA's in CANADA, again in Good with a slight rim ding. This one for less than $9. Then the same variety again on ebay, again with the ding for $20 this time.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I will buy a problem coin if it is an interesting or rare variety if the problem is slight. No cleaned, whizzed or otherwise mistreated coins though, even if they are rare.
