I wonder how to grade this 1864 2-cent coin. I got in a batch auction and my heart sank when I saw the hole which is bad enough, but the hole runs right through the date! The 2-cent coin is one of my favorite designs, but I'm not sure what to do with this one. I guess someone wore it as jewelry, but does it have any numismatic value?   |

xf details. there are people who collect these but coins with this level of damage sell at a deep discount. This is the large motto, so the more common variety. other than the hole, it is a nice coin.

Based on the feedback it sounds like my "holy" coin is worth exactly Two Cents. Maybe I'll just try to spend it... |

It's definitely not worth face value. It will just sell at a large discount compared to a similar coin without a hole.

A local coin dealer offers coins like this in a "junk" box. Since this coin despite the hole has nice detail it might be worth $5 plus or minus a bit to a not so picky collector.
