Holey 19th century type set

Holey crap. Nice. I have a lot of holes early type I throw in my interesting but not valuable early silver drawer here’s an example

And here’s one I sold. But a fun coin. And was worth something hole and all

 

Dm. I pick up cool holes stuff in my travels. And always willing to trade stuff

 

Nice one.

 

Gorgeous surfaces. Without the hole would be part of my close held permanent collection. A buddy found in a house cleanout. I gave him a grand for it. He went and bought another hunting rifle he’d been wanting I rode with him to get it. And then I took to a coin show a couple weeks later and flipped for $1200

 

This is a bloody shame.

 

One of my drawers of interesting silver etc. Morgan a contemporary counterfeit

 

In the unlikely event you come across a similar one, I’d be a buyer at $1250 . Seriously though I’m dying to get a Pine or Oak Tree for my Colonial set.

 

I only have one. Found in the pulper clean out pit at a recycled newspaper paper mill. Lots of odd stuff ends up in stacks of old newspaper.

 

Yea and he didn't need a metal detector.

 

The possibility of treasure was the reward for a really nasty job. There were lots of stories about what was found in there (gold and silver jewelry, currency could survive enough to exchange at a bank) but it was few and far between. Lots of history with these holey coins for sure.

 

Edit

 

I never think that about a holed coin that otherwise is in excellent condition. The reason the coin is still in excellent condition is because it was holed and taken care of.

 

It’s not impossible i have a friend with a really nice oak tree he found taking down a house. But i offered him a lot more. Than that for it. They do turn up. I’m wanting one myself. But want an eye appealing clean problem free one. I’ve had and seen a few that were bent as witch pieces. With of course the price adjusted I did have one clean example. But sold it.
