BEYOND BELIEF

Penny roll hunting today and look at what I found....A 1906 penny

WITH A HOLE IN IT!!!! Yes, WITH A HOLE IN IT !!!....I think I should take

CPR classes because I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw the hole...

Who could do such a thing?!?!?!....Incredible....look, look at the banner on the obverse,

bottom of her headdress....You can read... LIBERTY....Sigh...What a bummer....

This lovely coin has probably given way more than a cent's worth of enjoyment. It's a keeper in many person's minds.

 

Yep , cool find .

 

Maybe it was a piece if Jewelry on a bracket. Nice find!

 

Years ago people would nail a coin over the front door for good luck.

 

hang it on your keychain as a good luck charm...heres 2 i found...

 

I have a 1876 set w/ holes but no gold

 

Okay @dwhiz now you started it!

 

Can you imagine if that 55 was a doubled die!?!?!

 

It looks like it may be a poor mans DD and the 5c may be a 43/2.
I would like to see better photos of both.

 

So cool , are you the guy that wears a vest and hat filled with holed coins ? I read a writeup on him years ago and saw him at a Central States show in Chicago once . Amazing all the cool coins he had that most couldn't afford in a straight grade .

 

How would you give yourself CPR?

 

yea the 55 is a poormans DD, the nickel is a 43S, not a 43/2...

 

That would make a cool tie clasp.

 

Someone here awhile back said it may have been used as a button years ago.

 

Here's the Rev. It "was" on pretty good condition as well. It pains me to see this!

 

No, you'll find him on another site.

 

Huumm....Well...I didn't think about that....I am sure I could push my chest down..and up...But no way can I give myself mouth to mouth...Thanks for reminding me!!

 

I did not know that...
