[QUOTE="Reid Goldsborough, post: 193186, member: 34"]Anybody else collect holed/pierced coins? I'm building a wacky set of holed U.S. type coins that I can obtain for under $10. I've gotten just about all of the older types I think I'll be able to under these terms, with just one type left. But what I'm missing are mostly holed pocket change, specifically these three types: * Holed Lincoln Memorial cent * Holed Jefferson nickel * Holed Susan B. Anthony dollar My main criterion is that the hole has to have already been there, for a purpose such as the coin having been used as jewelry, that the coin can't have been holed just to create a holed (damaged) coin for a holed coin set. So I don't hole coins myself and ask others not to for me. If anybody comes across one of the above three coin types that already has a hole in it, you can rescue it from its dreary damaged existence by elevating it to a collection of similar coins. The coin will feel better surrounded by other coins that have gone through what it has gone through. <g>[/QUOTE]
