dcon New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 01:35 am I have a medal box full of currency and coins from our 98 year old grandfather that passed away. There are coins here dating back to 1837. First thing I noticed was this Half Dime that someone drilled a hole in this one and made a necklace. Sad... The rest are in fair to excellent shape. I'm no pro but hoping to learn in these forums. Edited by dcon 09/29/2009 01:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately, this was not at all an uncommon practice to pierce coins with holes and wear as pendants and the such. Since it is from your Grandfather, I'm sure it has a special place in your heart This is one to pass down in my opinion. There is much combined knowledge here and hope you enjoy your stay. Look forward to more pictures! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

(Nice one you posted! ) I am also sorry about the death of your (apparently cool since he liked coins!) Grandfather! (Just so you can see if yours is an 1857, here's one without a hole!)
