<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2279164, member: 56370&quot;]Regarding your original question as to how much the value is affected, my guess would be that the effect of the plugged hole would be quite significant, perhaps 50% as a wild guess.&nbsp; Your best bet would be to check auction archives on Heritage as there have surely been other Bust Dollars sold with plugged holes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although the severity of various problems is always in the eye of the beholder, I think most collectors would agree that holes are more detracting that some of the other issues, such as a light cleaning, that land a coin in a &quot;details&quot; holder.&nbsp; The good news is that your coin, providing it&#039;s genuine, is rare and worth a lot of money even with the hole.&nbsp; You should definitely get it certified as it is worth more in a holder than raw.&nbsp; There are lots of fakes of early US coins and even a &quot;details&quot; holder provides assurance to a buyer of authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
