<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3962704, member: 106826"]It's Type 2 based on the reverse design. Looks like two diagonal cutter marks on the coin along with the drilled hole. If it were for a necklace, I suspect that the hole would have been at 12 o'clock instead of where it is. So it may be that the coin became damaged and a collector figured they would destroy it so that others wouldn't necessarily benefit. Hard to say what anyone is thinking when they destroy a coin. You sometimes can tell by the ribbon and the braid what year the coin is, but based on the one obverse photo, I think it's probably not from the 20's. And with the worn off date, it could be an early teen to later teen coin. My recommendation is to pickle that nickel to reveal a date. This was a 1915D picked up in a parking lot:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1043685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1043686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1043687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1043688[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
