If anyone said to me 5 years ago I would have bought a holed coin I would have called them crazy! Since that time I have bought a number of holed Spanish Colonial coins and had a discussion about them at the 1715 Fleet Convention. There are different opinions as always and these include smaller denominations were paid to natives and lower paid workers who either had no clothes or no pockets in their clothes so hanging coins on string was a convenient way to keep them safe. Another reason was to show off wealth and yet another was to bunch certain values for innumerate people.</p><p>There are some holed coins in this group.</p><p><img src="https://portal-images.azureedge.net/auctions-2025/srten11292/images/a3743861-064f-4503-a04a-b31e00ae37d2.jpg?w=540&amp;h=360" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
