I have come across a large number of 19th century holed dimes, Half Dimes and 3 cent silvers over the years. It seems that they have been used in, and recovered from jewelry. The few examples that I do have leave a disappointing feeling. As long as the hole itself is in EF or better condition!  On a completely different slant, British Commonwealth coins of Edward V111 can be collected in uncirculated condition in a short type set, comprising seven coins, for less than $50. All are dated 1936. Makes for an interesting and historically significant set of coins. |

Yeah, if the price is right holed or damaged... someone's gotta give them a good home  . US gold dollars were commonly jewelryized(?) / holed. I've managed a few US gold dollar type sets at or below spot... the worst previously pictured as below  VVV.  |

if it was 'common' silver or gold, and below spot, then I would buy for scrap.
if a rarity then I might consider it if it was dirt cheap, then have a jeweler fill it in. it wouldn't help the value much, but I wouldn't have to stare at the hole any more. other than that - NO HOLES

 After reading what you all wrote, I'm second guessing my stance on holers. |

The beauty of collecting these days is not everything MUST be blazing white or blazing red to be appreciated by many. If you like it, never be embarrassed by it. One of my favorites is my "cracked out" 1886 V nickel:   But my avatar still is my all time favorite:   |

Did someone say holed coins? How about 1/2 of a Half Cent?   |
