Hi Groganking,
I actually figured that spot would be the least intrusive. A hole anywhere else would certainly affect the legends and/or the portraits on either side.

I have seen people build a whole 7070 album out of holed coins only, which was pretty impressive when you think about it so people do buy holed coins for their collection and some people would never be able to afford certain coins in certain dates if there werent problems with the coin

the coin has been formerly owned by a boy
just kidding..

got many like of those coins here in the Philippines.. USPI coins which were holed to be used as a necklace especially in the provinces where jewelers are a rarity..

little boys love them heavy coins dangling in their neck as it was just like a "anting-anting"

anting-anting = lucky charm

Hole or no hole, it's still a scarce coin, and worth keeping. If it's your intention to sell the coin at a later date, I think it would be a good idea to send it off to ANACS to have it graded and slabbed - somebody, somewhere down the road will want it.
Coin Calues has it listed at $600. in F-12, so you can factor in the hole, and still come up with a nice price for your coin.
