A nice looking, no LCW

Ugh.

What would this be worth in this condition?
Half of trends? 20% of trends?

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I guess back in the 1870 they had lots of these so to make a necklace out of one was no problem. To bad.

But how many no LCW coins were minted?

I wonder if a repair might make it a more eye appealing details coin?

It is a problem coin. I sell holed key dates at a pretty big discount, just to make them disappear. Otherwise, they are impossible to sell. Usually 15-25% of the catalogue price.

Pricey Victorian tragedy. I'm sure we all have one or two . Sadly, my 2x2 binder has an empty space where it would feel at home, next to another holed hole-filler.

You have enough posts, and have been a member here for some time, you can add the ebay link to your store to your profile, so folks can see that on all your posts here.
