It was a dollar, nothing more, why not do it? It was not a key date to the person who did it and it did not ruin the value to them. It was still worth $1.

No one is bidding on it, so it does not appear to enhance the demand for the coin. Its the kind of thing that reduces the value to melt value, regardless of the rarity of the coin.

In the description the sellers says stamped with initials J G H, which would tempt me as those are my initials, but in the pics it is pretty clearly stamped J L H, so guess not for me.

JG, look at the second pic of obverse. Looks like J G H to me.

Why not just buy a common date and deface it yourself?  |

That coin reminds me of a belt buckle my dad had. The only difference was his was a Peace dollar with his initials stamped into it. |

It was no big thing back when Silver Dollars were used all the time. Remember at one time they were everywhere.

I saw a beautiful XF-AU details 1885 V nickel that sold on ebay back earlier in the year (now since removed from ebay but images might be floating around somewhere) where there was a very large hole in the center, not drilled almost looked like it was worked, and the coin was split partially from that hole too. Had terrible environmental damage but still a lot of detail visible. I think it sold for something like $75. made me mad, because had it not have been damaged, yet alone environmental detail, you'd have a nice $1,000 coin. And for $75, it was pretty ugly at that. I don't care about the details, there's probably next to no one who's interested in buying it. |

Could of been someone's pocket piece/good luck charm and they wrote their name on it to identify it if they dropped it at one point then they could easily identify it.
At least the coin hasn't ended up at that Pawn Stars shop where it would have been melted in ANY condition and completely lost from every collector.
