One of the main reasons that I collect coins is to be able to enjoy them as miniature objects of art, little round sculptures, if you will. Personally, I'd never hole a coin, but when I view the 1908-O Barber quarter that I paid some kid a buck for years and years ago ... I can understand the motivation of the person who holed it so it could be worn as a pendant.

On the other hand, I'd NEVER consider an SBA dollar as an object of art. I bet no one EVER found a holed SBA - lol!

There is a local store that the guy that owns it gets bored and changes old coins into jewelry and money clips. I do not mind if it is a common date and worthless coin but when you start using MS60+ Morgans and Franklin's I get a little upset. The thing that makes me laugh is that he could sell them for more if he did not do this, sometimes I wonder if he knows better and then I come across a $2 1/2 or $5 gold piece on its own. Maybe he just does it with silver so people will buy the gold.
