Here’s another entry post to increase @Mountain Man’s odds of winning Lot #2 with the porcelain coin in it.
I think that was certainly the reason in a lot of cases. Small coins (three-cent silvers, half dimes, gold dollars) are frequently found holed....
Nothing wrong with that!
I’ve seen them in the mail. I get a lot of charity comeons in the mail. You give to one, and then suddenly you’re on everybody’s list.

You’re lucky to live in an area where such things are dug. Some colonial coppers made their way South down here- a buddy of mine dug a Nova...
Update: Well, I’ve got Photovision images of the NGC coin I bought, now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I do think the other (PCGS) coin in the original...
It is indeed lovely. I like floral designs. Here’s my latest addition. (NGC PR69 UCAM). Half ounce. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
