TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 08/10/2009 5:01 pm It's only AG and some lunatic drilled a hole part way through the obverse, but it is a 1916 S. Ever notice how they only drill collectible coins? Report this Post to the Staff

Electric_Op_Ltd Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 08/10/2009 5:27 pm LOL - and they only schedule events outdoors that YOU want to go to when it's raining, right? A 16-s is a 16-s; it's one of those coins, like a 1885 Nickel, that is desirable in just about any condition. Maybe it belonged to Sarah Palin - if you look through the hole, can you see Russia? Nice score, hole or no hole Bruce Report this Post to the Staff

It's been sitting around our shop for a few years without photographs. When I saw it was a key date, I photographed it. Coins like this usually sell after I photograph them.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 09:08 am So the question is what would you do or say to the person that did that drill mark if given the opportunity? Report this Post to the Staff

I assume it was done a really long time ago and the person had no ill will. At least they contributed to making it affordable to a collector somewhere, seeing as how a 1916 S costs a good deal more in higher grades. Even a VG would cost twice as much.

adambward New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/16/2009 12:39 pm Excellent find even with the drill hole. I assume they were trying to make a necklace? They must not have known much about classic coins. What a shame... Report this Post to the Staff
