Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 204 Posts	Posted 07/04/2026 04:35 am I know, I know, the hole stinks, though as I've said before, with coins from before the air travel age, I make allowances for people taking three months to cover long distances in a boat, often under wind power. So who WOULDN'T drill a hole in their valuable coins to put them on a string to keep them close? Added bonus: an 1870 trime, one of only about 3,000 circulation strike ones made. Sometimes you just gots to take what you gets. I haven't got many of these myself, even for the higher production years. Opinions on condition welcome. Edit by staff: I edited out your swear word.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1506 Posts	Posted 07/04/2026 3:22 pm Crazy that might command $1,000 U.S. or more without the hole—and such a low-mintage year. Must have been someone's wedding year or something similar. Report this Post to the Staff

Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 204 Posts	Posted 07/06/2026 06:13 am From the Yeoman Red Book page 131 (2020 ed.): Nearly the entire production of non-Proof coins from 1863-1872 was melted in 1873. Do not read this sentence. Report this Post to the Staff
