<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5369299, member: 101855&quot;]Love tokens are another part of the market. You have to expect a hole or two or solder to hold the bracelet. Holes are okay for those pieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>Holes in regular coins is another matter for me. I don&#039;t buy them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do buy political tokens with holes because, once more, it is something that is to be expected if someone was going to wear the piece like a modern political button. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even there, the hole can be in the wrong place. For example almost all of the know examples of this 1864 Lincoln piece, which also a Civil War token, are holed. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1228789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1228790[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, this Hard Times token is collected without the hole, which why I bought this piece dirt cheap for less than $100. It is a very neat Jackson token design. Without the hole it&#039;s worth $400 or more. It seems like collectors filled in the holes with plaster, which is what has been done to this piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1228791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1228792[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
