<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Badger Mint, post: 3007828, member: 42121&quot;]The hole was most likely punched or drilled and the coin used as a washer or spacer.&nbsp; The pushing of the columns shows that the pin through the hole was a bit loose, pushing the edges of the hole out. This would both remove any evidence of the drill bit used to make the hole and roll the copper plating. Above all, as a 40+ year collector and die cutter/coin maker for almost 2 decades I can assure you the hole happened after the coin left the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
