<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 7837485, member: 110226&quot;]Hole repairs do happen with some modern coinage, notably 8 reales coins.&nbsp; These coins were often drilled and either used for decorative purposes, or to put them on a string.&nbsp; Some of the clothing of the indigenous populations of Central America and other areas lacked pockets, so coins of various denominations drilled or punched through to create a hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hole repairs do reduce the value of a coin, and the quality of the work can vary.&nbsp; Most reputable firms and dealers will mention such a repair when listing a coin.&nbsp; Still, if a collector is willing to accept a rare coin in this condition, it does present an opportunity to acquire it at a much lower price compared to an un-holed comparable coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
