Perhaps because back when the damage was done, it was a one cent coin and nobody cared?
Very few humans are gifted with eyes that can see the future.

Yes, that's certainly painful. Maybe had sentimental value to someone, many years ago?

The second ouch is it's an RPD, 1869/69 most likely.  |

My dealer showed me a coin a few weeks ago that made me cringe....it was a early 1880's (forget the exact date) Seated Liberty quarter with the same type of hole, probably in VF....shame. |

The copper inside the hole doesn't seem to have much of a patina. That makes me wonder if it was actually done more recently, or at least was worn on a string (which rubbed on it) until recently.

Reminds me of a 1877 IHC I saw on ebay with a similar hole in it. Three big WHYs? for that one! |

Saw one way worse than that. A 1907 Wire Rim High Relief $20 gold piece. No hole, but had been in a pendant or something for a necklace. The obverse side was easily a MS 62+ or might have made 63. The reverse was worn smooth, slick, gone. How do you grade that? MS62/AG3? It may not have even been AG on the reverse. I could not tell it was a coin on the obverse. Looked like a gold circle.
I am thinking if it would have been MS 63/63 that would be a 15K or much higher coin.
