A Hole in One (Wheat Penny)

[Explorer.se]

This is my first wheat Penny that I find holed. It’s a 1928. Has anyone ever found one? I found this at a home built in 1913. I also found a 1916 and a 1937 wheatie. I found a pin of some sort. I can’t wait to get back out again.

Thanks Jimmy! I know I did not notice till I got home.

I've had a hole in one in golf but never in metal detecting.
Sounds like your in a honey hole, probably some more old coins in there just waiting for you.

Hi Still looking yes I will definitely go back there.

I do not recall finding a wheat with a hole in it, but have found several IH’s with holes.
I also found a Mercury dime with a hole drilled in it a few years ago.
You made some interesting finds!!

I've found a few "newer" holed US and foreign coins including wheats. I believe that people used them as necklace mementos for birth years and heritage.
I've always thought they're cool to find, congratulations on yours.

My guess is trinket style bracelet/necklace. My aunt had her kids birth-year coins holed along with her’s and the uncle’s and their wedding year. Also continued along with grandkids. She sounded like a tambourine when she walked.
Ive never found any but always a first to come along. The lock and clasp are interesting………Cool finds!!!

Some people used to drill coins and attach fishing line or thread to get their money back from vending machines and old pay phones.
