Not bad on the price, thought it was a nice little score considered the mintage is only 400K.

If you can accept it being holed then you did VERY well.

At that price, you buy every rarity you find, holed or not.

Cool coin. I like the location of the mint mark. Does anyone have a guess as to the metal used in the plug? Lead maybe?
Rest in Peace

Pack a book full of those babies for that price.

Then advertise on Craig's List. I'm KIDDING!

Love the "No Stars" variety, just a clean looking coin.

That's my best bet. I dislike it a lot, heck I would drill it out myself. I might do that, I don't know. Seems risky.

The practice of plugging coins probably has an interesting history. That plug looks pretty old. I think it's more interesting than a hole.

True, as long as it's not iron, maybe I'll just leave it alone. If it's iron, it's prone to rust if stored in improper conditions.
