sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 12:08 pm What do I think? I think the person who put a hole in that coin should be tar and feathered. Report this Post to the Staff
gotboostedvr6 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 12:11 pm Agreed. The Million Dollar question is what it could be worth? Report this Post to the Staff
gotboostedvr6 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 12:49 pm also is it a good candidate for grading ? Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 1:05 pm The 1847 is a common date in the series and that hole makes it ungradeable, but if genuine, they would slab it and describe a details grade - holed. The most you could expect to get for it is about $150-$200 to an enthusiast with some extra $$. I personally wouldn't spend the money for grading. That's an extra expense you probably wouldn't recoup in selling it. I see nothing that would indicate a "copy" from the obverse photo (can't see reverse). Have you weighed it? A genuine coin will weigh between 25.5~26.5 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 11:29 pm Even if the hole were to magically disappear it would still be a details grade coin in my opinion. Any reputable TPG will spot a plugged hole, even if expertly done. Report this Post to the Staff
