TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 821 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 3:51 pm Drumroll please ! Your coin is worth.... 1 cent ! What you have is a bent coin that was hammered flat, causing the splits in the planchet. Long ago, clothes didn't have pockets and many people carried coins on a cord or leather strip by punching a hole and stringing them like beads - early money belt. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 3:56 pm I agree with Terry. The coin didn't circulate much and was heavily bent, then pounded back semi-flat, breaking/splitting the planchet. The square hole is from an old square nail or punch. It could have been used for anything, as Terry says, but also maybe a spacer/buffer/shim. Report this Post to the Staff
