I've had this since I was a kid . Does anyone know what it might be worth ? Yea, I know my pics are out of focus but do the best you can . I guess there is a 1a and 1b, don't know which I have. Thank You .
As-is, with the hole, it's only worth the melt value of the silver ($4.59 as I type this, deducting a tiny bit from that for the lost metal). Even without the hole, in Fine to VF condition as shown, it would only have been a $7.00-7.50 coin anyway. Here is the Numista page. Here is the Krause/Numismaster/NGC page, with values. A 2-shilling coin is also called a florin, as you may have known. These are only 50% silver (.500 fine).
well that's better than nothing . It holds greater worth in sentimental value as my Uncle who was in WW2 , brought it back with him. Here's a couple better pics. It weighs 10.95 g .
Definitely a keeper, then. Start yourself a holey coin hat! "Holey" coins are a fun and affordable way to collect cool old stuff without breaking the bank. You can make a wearable collection, like I did (if you're enough of a nutjob- haha), or you can get a cork board and some map pins and display the collection that way.
Nah. No use in plugging the hole. It's part of the coin's history. Definitely use it as the start to a fun holey coin collection.
