    Here's the other half of the pair with a very similar hole. 1868 3 Cent Nickel Rev.jpg 1868 3 Cent Nickel Obv.jpg

    You've got a fun start to a "holey" collection there!

    I had fun with holeys, once upon a time. [​IMG]

    They still look like a fishing flasher to me. Just put a hook on the one and and you’ll probably catch your limit on 30 minutes. Lol :)

    I did use fishing swivels to hang ‘em.

    Probably don’t wanna use a holey $3 gold piece as a fishing flasher, though. While it would probably work, with my luck, it would end up snagged on a sunken log on the bottom!

    That’s the only drawback, a snag and you lose it. The colors are right though. :)

    That's quite a collection! With the size of the coins I have, I guess I could turn them into buttons!

    Or you could get yourself a cork board and some map pins and do a type set that way.

    Here's a casual cork board project I've got going on the sidelines.

    (I've got a casual type set going, too, on another cork board. Might sell these, though. I've got too many side projects, and not enough time to spend organizing my primary collection.)

    Looks like someone wore that long enough to elongate the hole. Nice.
