    Here's a holey coin that still had some value- and it was pedigreed to one of the most famous collections of all time.

    Zeno (emperor of the East, A.D. 476-491). Gold solidus. Thessalonica, A.D. 476 or later.

    Pedigreed to the famous Louis E. Eliasberg Collection.

    RIC 941. Metcalf 223. Choice VF. 4.27 grams, 20.40 mm. Obv Helmeted, cuirassed bust three-quarters facing of Zeno, holding spear and decorated shield. Rev Victory standing l., holding long cross, two stars in field. A scarcer issue. Scratched in right obverse field and holed, otherwise Choice VF.

    It used to be the centerpiece of my famous "Holey Gold Hat".

    Someone made a pendant out of this Maximianus back around 300 AD.

    I've shared this one in similar threads here over the years. I'm still not completely sure what happened to this one, but likely some kind of machinery mauling. This was in a pile inherited from a relative.

    Looks like a nice gold piece, until you turn it over. Acquired from a member here.

    I honestly have no idea how this coin got mutilated.
    I like to think this coin was lost in a wagon wheel rut. It looks like it could have been a road kill coin from the days bofore pavement and rubber tires.
