It depends on the coin. Look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1259827925
I got $10 less the good retail list for it, which is considerably more than the
$3 it's worth for the bullion value. But nowhere near the Fine value of $63.

Thanks. For some collectors who have to "fill that hole" a cheaper holed coin
will do until they can afford/find what they want.
Funny, I always thought filling the hole meant getting a coin of a type or
date you didn't have, I didn't realise the coin had to have a hole too!

(and we'll avoid a descent into pseudo-Freudian references I remember from
RCC a month or so back!!!!)
