I sold a Frisbee on ebay for $10 last year. It has 3 holes in it from where I used it as target practice with my new pellet gun in the mid 60's. When I put the frisbee on ebay I was told by an advanced collector that I had the Mona Lisa of Frisbee's with 3 holes in it, worth over $100 with no holes, hence my $10. If I had known I was going to save that thing all that time, I probably would not have used it but then again, what was I to know at the time. So the 48 dollar with a hole was a keepsake not a numismatic item.

Holed and damaged coins play an important part in my collection. They can bring the price of a coin down so that I can afford it. Sure, I'd love to have an MS65 example of a rare coin, but I never will. I'd rather have one like that, than an empty hole (in my album).

Eh. Coined and holed coins - in my collection - have no place. I like a BU finish on my coins, and if I can't afford it on an older coin, I just don't get it. Then again, I'm not collecting "sets", I'm collecting quarters.
