That is simply not true, if that coin is an R-6 even with a hole in it, it's worth more than a few dollars. As far as no one likes holed coins, I believe that is a personal preference for yourself. There are quite a few collectors in this forum that do collect holed coins. As far as variety and value, I can't help. I'm sure one of the early copper people will be by shortly to help!
there is an ebay seller offering the coin with the hole in it right now for auction. i was thinking about bidding on the coin, however, i think that it is going to sell for more than i would pay for it, at least based on the current bids on the coin and the amount of time left on the auction. i know that the coin will without a doubt sell for more than a few dollars. if draped bust cents (in similar condition to the holed coin that i posted) really only sold for a few dollars each, then i would buy a dozen of them.
Heck, if people pay big bucks for Po-1 and Fr-2 I'm sure you can find buyers (hence value) for those coins, hole included.
