<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1593492, member: 20201&quot;]I have noticed in my never-ending searches for tokens and medals that many of these have a small hole drilled near the rim at the top of the obverse or most important side of them. I have been mainly looking for commemorative medals from the 1800&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>A very large percentage of these seem to have the holes and I am wondering if these were made this way in some cases or if it was a &quot;fad&quot; at some time in history to &quot;hole&quot; them by persons so they could be used as a watch fob or necklace? </p><p>Maybe some people collected these on a string and it was a way to keep the collection together and share with others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples of what I am talking about. I am posting this for an educational purpose for myself and for others who may wonder about this as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]222521.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
