I agree, plus I question the originality of the color. It is relatively difficult for a copper coin to have that much wear and still be that...
That type of toning is considered damage by almost all collectors. Toning that occurs "naturally" (i.e. slowly), sits more "deeply" on the coin...
B12-There is no simple answer to your original question. That said I am working on a US type set of holed coins (mostly because I can and it's...
This is the same as my experience too. I have trouble finding them in anything other than "abused" condition. P.S. For those of you asking...
if you don't regularly buy holed coins how can you determine that it is "worthless"? It is definately worth less than a non holed example, but...
