Did you drill that hole or was it that way when you found it?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 11:00 pm The plating and the hole cancels the premium the altered coin would bring. Only only surfaces are what collectors want. Rubes buy them, but they won't get back what they paid extra for. Report this Post to the Staff
