<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 24556828, member: 116145&quot;]Hah, the Draped Bust 1799 Dollar looks like it was on a necklace - quite the stylish medallion!&nbsp; While Lord M.&#039;s holey hat is, in my view, the ultimate in haute holed coin fashion, it reminded me of a few fun pieces - I have a bracelet (removed) of coins most likely from the Great White Fleet - which Teddy Roosevelt sent around the world to show off America&#039;s growing naval power in 1907-1909 (given the ports of call) which includes a holed 1883 Hawaii quarter.&nbsp; I also have a formerly holed (looks like the chain pulled the hole open) 1422-61 England Henry VI 1/4 gold Noble - the same type as was discovered in Canada last year raising questions about early exploration there.&nbsp; The queen of my SLQ set - the rare 1918/7-S overdate is holed.&nbsp; I also really like my holed 1861-O Seated Liberty half dollar - as it is unique because those coins were produced under three different authorities in New Orleans that turbulent year - 1.&nbsp; The United States mint; 2.&nbsp; The State of Louisiana; and 3. The Confederate States.&nbsp; I find that fascinating historically and every one of these was affordable to me - an opportunity for me to have a little interesting piece of history, because of the damage / holes.&nbsp; For example that bracelet was about $40 as I recall maybe 10 years ago.&nbsp; It is in this context I embrace the hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1555147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1555148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1555149[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1555150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1555151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1555152[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
