[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7915030, member: 10461"]Now, it may surprise some to hear this coming from me, given that I've been an enthusiastic collector of "holey" coins off and on for a couple of decades. I'm not sure I'd go for a holed piece like that, for my "mainstream" collection. For my [I]holey[/I] collection, sure- that coin would be the crown jewel in that. But for a more mainstream collection, I'd rather see an undamaged G4 or so. But I don't know how the price comparisons work out, offhand. I [I]will [/I]say this one does have a lot of "meat" for a cleaned and holed piece, and so if you find you can live with the hole, hey- why not? Go for it. But as has been mentioned, you might have difficulty selling it later because of that. People typically don't like holes, unless they're eccentric types who are [I]deliberately[/I] collecting holed coins, like I have been known to do.[/QUOTE]
