<p>[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3374667, member: 91240"]The only holed coin that I have is this Republican denarius of C. M. Thermus. If you look closely at the area around the hole on the obverse, you'll see what I believe is a remnant of a base metal attachment, indicating that side was displayed. I like to image that since it depicts Mars it was a Roman soldier's charm. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]895169[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Q.
