Holey Dollar PEI Holey Dollar, CH PE-1A, Faulkner H.9. Rogers Dollar, 1807 Charles IV Mexico TH. This coin belonged to the PEI collector Wendell Rogers who died in 1993. It was impossible to classify among the different groups of known countermarks because a number of punch marks and gouges have been applied over top of the original countermark of nine or ten rays. One ray can be seen to have escaped the vandal’s punch. The centre hole to the coin is unusually smooth and even. Nevertheless, this appears to be a legitimate Holey Dollar which has been marred by vandalism.


Note this lot is part of the Geoffrey Bell Collection.
