I know this will sound blasphemous, but I'd put this one right back on a chain and wear it.

With two holes plus the bend, wonder if someone had used it as a button |

The top hole looks streched as if worn as a charm or pendant. The middle hole looks like a square nail hole. Why this one, ?

Someone may have though they would get ten times the luck or they ran out of cent coins and nailed it in the rafters of their new home, after compleation.
But it IS a nice coin.

$328! Wow, I posted this at $108. The 1794 is slightly scarcer than the 1795 but two holes and that damage, I'd pass.

Captain Ahab nailed it to the mast for the sailor who speared Moby Dick. In all seriousness, wow, she has been through a lot.

No longer a Half Dime. Closer to a third. A perfect example of why the old concept of body bagging slobbed coins (for a lot less damage than this) made no sense. It might not fit a textbook grade, but it's obviously still collectable and valuable. |
