Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 233 Posts	Posted Yesterday 04:14 am That's right, another holey coin. Someone tried to make a hole in it, and someone also succeeded. Might have been the same someone. And now I have it. Once again, while the hole kinda stinks, it's part of the coin's story. Maybe it saved a soldier in the Civil War from a very, very tiny musket round. Or maybe not since it would have gone right through. OK, maybe the hole was made with a drill by someone in the wake of the war going to find a fortune in the gold fields of New Zealand. Who can say? Perhaps Lee or Grant themselves held this at some point. Anywho, my question: which variety is it? And I know, the "1" is not there for diagnostic purposes. C'est la vie. Gots to work with what we gots. Thanks in advance. Do not read this sentence. Edited by Buffalo soldat Yesterday 11:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
