cinemabon Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 6:28 pm I know it has some flaws but I liked the detail in this coin. 1 - what do you think caused the two holes? 2 - how much do you think it detracts from its value? Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 8:25 pm XF the holes? maybe an old tool like a punch or maybe even a nail that was tapped into it, can't guess why, but back when it happened not many people were collecting them I'd wager.

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 02:38 am Ef-45 details. The damage is not too serious, and the eye appeal is still good. Probably net F-12 or VF-20, and I am leaning toward net VF. Report this Post to the Staff
