<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26718126, member: 10461&quot;]You needn&#039;t worry about that with me.&nbsp; I only accept &quot;original&quot; holes that are over a century old.&nbsp; I&#039;d never drill my own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when I had my &quot;<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/">Holey Gold Hat</a>&quot;, however, I did &quot;cheat&quot; a little bit on this one, by drilling out an unsightly plug.&nbsp; The coin had been holed in the 19th century but later crudely repaired, with a blackish-colored plug of some unknown metal (lead solder, probably).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I drilled out the ugly plug to restore it to its earlier &quot;holeyness&quot;. But that&#039;s not the same thing as if I had drilled a hole in an undamaged coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi88.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk173%2Flordmarcovan%2FThe%2520Holey%2520Gold%2520Hat%2FHGH-USA-Gold-250-1856S.jpg&amp;hash=85e7d6252e3659dc5f7cfc35692531e4" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
