[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7490853, member: 26302"]Looks like using a square punch to hang from necklace.

Then he finished cleaning the dirt off and found an attempt of a punch hole right above lincoln. Someone years ago tried to make a hole and got about 70% done and gave up ....... on a 1909 S VDB. :( The coins was a very pretty green AU, (I am sure "details" even without hole due to modern collectors hating any coin that has been buried).
