    I think the holed coins are great!
    As long as the hole isn't through the date!! Why through the date?
    But at least you can see most of the number and can make a positive ID.
    Congrats on the new oldest! ................

    An excellent coin Tony! Even with a hole in it. Love the RR key too and what looks like a Procter and Gamble soap token. Two cakes of soap will help with the cleanup after detecting.
