No Large Cent does not deserve to be preserved for future generations, and a holed one was likely a contemporary effort. There are those who specialize in collecting them.

tjmdo New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/21/2013 10:00 pm Thanks for the reply! Just picked up an 1852 with a hole through the rim straight across from her chin. Grade I think without the hole would be VG-8. Report this Post to the Staff

Not that they shouldn't be preserved for future generations of collectors but they just don't have a lot of monetary value. Edited by Joe2007 12/21/2013 10:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
