<p>[QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 3373593, member: 89534"]Saw your holed coins and by the looks of it, someone has used a drill to it to place on a necklace.. Technically with the hole, it is classified as damaged and no longer has numismatic value...However as a piece of jewellry or simply the silver value, there can be some capital gain..... It is like buying a painting that has had a razor blade taken to it...Now would you buy that damaged painting?? Or what about a car that has been keyed all across the duco or paintwork or what about a car with no engine?? Would you buy that?? Or a house with foundations almost rotting to the fullest...would you buy that??...I can go on and on but i think you have the meaning...HOLED COINS LIKE THE ONES YOU SHOWED ARE DRILLED AND ARE DAMAGED....Now i have a holed coin but was minted that way...Pic included here for your viewing. They are telephone tokens made for public phones long before the ordinary coinage was able to be used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
