All those holes is a depressing sight. I admit to owning some holed coins. I was able to get them for so cheap due to the holes. I try not to mind the holes. Some aren't too bad. It all depends on where they were drilled in reference to the devices on the coin.

Ehh, I dunno, it doesn't bother me that much. I think they'd make great fodder for a necklace or bracelet! =) Since it's been done already, might as well put them to use in a way that they'll be somehow appreciated by somebody.

Bummer!! I'd still love to have them in my collection... Maybe they could fill some holes? Eh?

I agree with delaner. I would snap them up at or about melt and make a nice necklace or bracelet for my daughter. I think she would really enjoy that as well.

I like the holed coins. Yes, it takes away most of the value but it is part of history.

Well, better then melting them down. Just hope hes smart enough to make sure they are not key dates.
