<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 77881, member: 1674&quot;]B12-There is no simple answer to your original question.&nbsp; That said I am working on a US type set of holed coins (mostly because I can and it&#039;s fun), and I have a rule of thumb that I follow when buying holed coins.&nbsp; First, I check to see if the hole is the only damage on the coin.&nbsp; If it is the only damage, then I check the rarity of the coin.&nbsp; If it is a common date then I generally try to pay between 1/4 and 1/3 of its value if it were undamaged.&nbsp; If it is a less common date then I pay anywhere from 1/10 to 1/5 of it&#039;s undamaged value.&nbsp; The more rare the coin is the closer to 1/10 of its undamaged value I pay.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are other things that I look for that would lower the value even more.&nbsp; The larger the hole, the more of a discount.&nbsp; The &quot;rougher&quot; the hole is, the cheaper the coin will be.&nbsp; Finally, it the hole obliterates any design elements, especially the date, that will further decrease the coin&#039;s value.</p><p><br /></p><p>the bottom line is, that there is a market for holed coins, but they are never worth as much as the same coin without the hole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
