Holey type set, Batman! If that's your goal, CanadianCollector, buy it.

Unless it's a variety with a high R-value I'd say "no".

I would. There is a market for high-grade type coins with holes in them. The value is usually knocked to 5-10% of problem-free value. Exceptions include draped busts, gold, and seated/trade dollars.

I'd pick it up. Mrs. ArrowsAndRays calls my box of holed/counterstamped/chop marked coins my "stray dogs"  |

Why not get one without the hole?

I presume because its a $100 coin without the hole.

Go for it if you will, but this is not a collector coin.  Edited by Coinfrog

I agree. You can get some amazing coins with holes in them for next to nothing, and still be able to resell them for x5 what you paid for them depending. They're very underlooked at. My buddy flipped a ton of holed coins over a period of a year from ebay and made like $500. |

Cheap enough, what can it hurt?

CoinHuntingDrew, How did he flip them? What I mean is, how did he get the coin cheap and sell it for a lot more on the exact same selling platform ( ebay)? That's been my concern in general when I see what look like under priced coins there. |

That's a sadly pretty coin there Dsfreeworld. I simply wanted to show Coinfrog and perhaps others that coins with holes are collector coins. It's simply a matter of who the collector is and what he collects. Whereas I've assembled sets of coins with counterstamps, friends of mine have assembled 7070 type sets with holes and with engravings, love tokens. Every collection starts with "one." Perhaps, our OP will someday start a holed type set? As an aside, I once bought a holed love token from a dealer's junk box. It cost me $3. It was an 1873 Liberty Seated quarter with arrows in VF condition. I no longer own it. It's an exceedingly rare coin that a dealer considered junk. One man's trash can be another's treasure!
