<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2276504, member: 17665&quot;]You are correct in that it would do more harm than good to remove whatever the hole is plugged with. There are some dealers who sell a lot of coins with damage, Steven Musil is one of them. (Advertizes in Numismatic News). There is a market for these as substitutes for better more pricey coins that are the same. The holes does take away value as would any damaged coin. How much is anyone&#039;s guess as you would have to find a buyer who actually needed this one. An 1801 currently is listed in Numismatic News in Fine at $2,050.00. IMHO this coin is worth having certified but would come back listed as &quot;Details-Plugged&quot;. ANAC&#039;s would grade this coin and you would have a better chance of selling and/or at least get a positive grade. They could, for an additional fee, clean up the veridigris or whatever substance that is on the hole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
