The “Saint Patrick” “farthings” and halfpennies of the late 1600s (listed in the Colonials section of the US Red Book) had a brass plug referred...
Now THAT one I wouldn’t drill the plug out of!!!
Thanks. Nothing there I really need (nor would this be the place to discuss it if I did), but I appreciate your posting them. You should start...

Chances are, the damage was done when that was just a random cent from circulation. The perpetrator might not have had the first idea that it was...
