<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 341133, member: 4552&quot;]Way, way back in the good old days and people just didn&#039;t have money, some would take any Silver coin and drill a hole or cut a section off the edge. Then proceed to spend them as normal, everyday money. Occationally a bank, store, etc would refuse a coin with a hole in it so people got smart. After drilling out a small hole for the Silver they would refill the hole with lead. Lead has always been cheap and accessable so no big loss. We used to get as much Lead as wanted from gas stations that had old batteries, tangled lines in the lakes with Lead sinkers, tire places with those balancing weights, shooting ranges. </p><p>The Silver was turned in to a local jewler for a few cents but that was a lot of money back then. </p><p>May not be why yours is that way, but many are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
