<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rdwarrior, post: 938077, member: 20091&quot;]Don&#039;t knock em, most were holed for a reason. For instance, for many years women had no property rights. If their husbands were to die without a will, his property will be divided among his male relatives leaving her with nothing, Or if he were to &quot;kick her out&quot; she would leave with nothing. Except for one thing, Her jewelry was one thing that was hers. So by piercing a coin and adding it to her jewelry it was a form of security to her. This is, by the way, where the custom of buying your woman expensive jewelry got started.</p><p>So don&#039;t see it as some creep maliciously defacing a coin to cause grief to future collectors, look at it as just a part of that coins history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
