Another holed (clad) dime

[Duh_OZ]

Two of them found in tot lots (about 5 miles apart) this year. Some
kind of fad going on? This one was definitely done by an amateur as
the hole is pretty big.

Pics of both here:

The one with the smaller hole looks like it was made as many others
were to be worn on a necklace. The larger holed piece looks like maybe
someone was fooling around with his dad's tools.

Talking about holed coins, I think I just finished, or actually almost
finished, my set of holed U.S. type coins that I was able to acquire
for less than $10 each. Bought a braided hair half cent yesterday for
$9 and change, a piece I'd been wanting for nearly three years.

I got started in this, got the idea for it, when dealer buddy gave me
as a thank you for driving him to a Baltimore show a bunch of stuff
for myself and my kids including a 1907-O holed Barber dime. I
couldn't let that sit there alone. <g> So I now have 43 holed type
coins now, from a draped bust half cent to a Sac, all under $10, and
the only piece I need is a holed Washington Bicentennial quarter.
Anybody? <g> I'm not going to bother with (all the) the recent
quarter, nickel, and dollar coin varieties.

I don't collect pieces holed just to create holed coins (and don't
hole coins myself) but only pieces holed for some other purpose such
as jewelry, keychain, etc. I'm a holed coin rescuer. <g> I'd really
love to find a beat-up (it would have to be really beat up to cost
under $10) holed twenty cent piece and trade dollar, but this probably
will never happen.

Coin collecting eccentricity... the best kind of coin collecting, or
any collecting really, when you think about it. Something that no one
else has ... or wants. <g>

I believe the holes in coins were caused by the little people driving
matchbox cars into them.

That's what "alt.treasure.hunting" in the "Newsgroups:" field means.
