The only holed coin I would ever want as part of my collection is the famous PEI Holey dollar of 1913...

No holed coins ever. Back in the day, people used to hang those around their necks, before the invent of wallets.

I'll buy holed coins... I got a 1840 Half Dime for 50 cents holed... less then melt of the remaining metal! |

I collect Victorian silver, so I'm never too picky about the condition of the coins that I buy.

Sometimes, holed coins are very painful to look at...

i wonder if a jeweler would be able to repair something like that?
would you be better off with a patch or the hole?

Either way it is damaged. But I agree, a patch would be less of an eye sore.
Trying to remember where I saw a rare Victorian transformed in love token ...

I bought a holed silver coin for melt once too. I jokingly complained about the hole, and the seller replied "I'm not charging you for the hole!"
True enough!

Interesting, I have a couple that would need a comment or two, but if it completes a series, that is out of range , maybe , the love token ?
I like the idea of an era love token , if I did'nt have one in low grade I would consider $500.00 , as at this post its 850.00 probably not.
