Okay... so I added a non center holed coin... honestly, I prepped the photos prior to recognizing that the post was for center holes. When I think of holes, the Canadian '39 is most depressing and, of course, sharable, because, well, who doesn't like it when misery is shared!?

Nice examples!  The non-center hole dollar is just a bonus.

@dant5150: Yes, it's unfortunate that the silver dollar was holed, but recall that it was issued as a circulation commemorative coin to celebrate the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada.
The coin was meant to be a souvenir, so it's not too surprising that you found an example that had been holed for use as a watch fob, an ornament for a key ring, a charm for a necklace or some other type of ornamental device. (I think its too big for practical use as a bracelet charm.)
Thanks for sharing your coins!
