Rillionon Valued Member Canada 91 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 9:41 pm These came in a bag of rolls, 10 rolls total, they just kept coming. Thankfully I hunted twice as many non drilled ones of the same what I assume is average quality for these. I was going to post in Numismatic Crime, but did not want to break posting rules. But it is a crime. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25155 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:00 pm Judging by the dates on these coins, the crime probably occurred in the later '60s. Someone may used them to decorate hippie garb, as we see done with Chinese cash coins etc. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Nycstlrr Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:40 pm I doubt if it was done in the 60's. Does not look like any oxidation at all around the holes. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, this almost looks fresh, I first thought they were anti coin collector with the poor placement of some of the holes, lol Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5586 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 07:46 am I had a friend that used to do that for a small added weight on a fishing line back in the 50's on the Mississippi. I'd also seen them that way for people who make wind chimes as an added sound as the touch together. Report this Post to the Staff
