LordM has been instrumental in shaping me as a collector and I could never repay the favor of this lifetime gift he bestowed. His CT handle describes him perfectly as an [I]Eclectic & avid numismatist [/I] [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forumancientcoins.com%2Fgallery%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2F18727%2F002-Holey_Coin_Vest_II.jpg&hash=228ff24f53559377e7564e1b73864236[/IMG] If you haven't seen or heard of his once renowned [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/']Holey Coin Ensemble[/URL] you should check it out. As I understand, he had to divest himself of the "holey" collection back around 2013 and since then has slowly begun reassembling a new "holey" collection. LordM is the quintessential numismatologist with a variety of interests and in his pursuit of coins he is always willing to sell and trade to knock down the next. I was lucky enough to have acquired the coin below, in late 2016, from Lord Marcovan's "Eclectic Box of 20" Collection: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bibliopath.com%2Fcoins%2Fancient%2FRagusa-grosso-014290-coin-lg.png&hash=6b0881db1032d0a75ff39e164e2da3d5[/IMG] Affectionately known as the "Hippie Coin" I never get tired of admiring this beauty. Not too long ago I was perusing an email list of coins and noticed: [B]RAGUSA (Croatia)[/B] 1337 ff., Dinar, St Blasius / Christ, VF hole I knew immediately it was meant for our favorite champion of numismatics and in the spirit of spreading some cheer this year for a well deserving guy I present this Holy Holey to LordM for his Holey Ensemble. [IMG]http://www.bibliopath.com/coins/boards/holy-holey.jpg[/IMG] I hope I can spur on some others to help make LordM's Holey Collection great again. If you wish to contribute a holey coin to this cause you may PM me or post a pic of the coin here and I will respond with a mailing address where the contributed coins will be collected and forwarded to LordM. All best, Doug [SIZE=2](small shout out to [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] for the PO Box and [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] who knows this type coin well)[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
