raniles New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 3:30 pm Has anyone seen anything like this? The large hole goes completely through the coin. Is it something that could happen at the mint or was it made environmentally or some other way? Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 3:52 pm Looks to be a drilled hole. Typically those are near the edge so you can hang the coin though. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

raniles New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 4:25 pm That's what I thought, but the way the metal is deposited up around the hole is unusual, like it was molten or something. I figured it might be electrical somehow. Thanks for your input. Report this Post to the Staff
MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 5:27 pm Wow. That hole is super small. Can't be any more than about .015" diameter. Doubt it was a drill. A drill that small would have snapped that close to George's throat. I'm thinking EDM'ed. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/22/2022 9:05 pm @Make, I have drill bits at 0.01mm. Probably an goldsmith drilling over soldering flame. Report this Post to the Staff
