What a shame

I know that it was commonplace back in the day to make a necklace out of a coin but what a shame. I also know that this may be the reason why it survived in such good shape. Anyway, for $15 I couldn’t pass on it.

Eh, they made like 18 million of these. Not exactly a shortage of this date.

 

Except for the distractions it is a nice-looking coin for the price. Thanks for sharing.

 

It's a Holy coin. @lordmarcovan would love it.

 

Seems like 1876 is a common date for this sort of damage, due to the centennial year. I have a half made into a watch fob.

 

remind me to never show you guys the rings made from walking liberty half dollars ... a common practice today of all sorts of coins.

But thanks for sharing. Good quality coin albeit the hole.

 

I like it too. For $15 you can't go wrong. As long as you like it that's all that counts.

It hurts to look at a coin like that.

 

Oh, I’m guilty of making a few rings but I used Washington quarters or dateless type 2 standing libertys. The real horror story are the seated liberty half’s that were started for rings. In vf condition.
