<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jsilver2th, post: 1289077, member: 33407&quot;]Thank you all for the responses.&nbsp; I have looked at it carefully and I agree with you all that it was holed. I hadn&#039;t even looked at the reverse much but I see it now- the holes show up more pronounced in the photo. </p><p><br /></p><p>It must have been done sometime ago and there is a definate aged feel to the patina- there are even old scratches over the plugs.&nbsp; I guess what I don&#039;t understand is why someone would go to that trouble since it&#039;s not all that valuable. It must have been done I would have to guess way more than fifty years ago because of circumstances.&nbsp; Don&#039;t worry I didn&#039;t just buy it.&nbsp; Why would someone go to all that work? Looks like the punch or however it was holed caused more damage on the reverse. The letters &quot;HALF DOL.&quot; also seemed to have been worked. It would be a hard way to earn a buck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also I had this on another board and all had same belief. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
