Good snag, and even with a hole in the coin, it's Georgie V. (The beard and Crown are a dead give away for George the 5th.) I'd gladly swap 2 of my bearded Crowned Copper Kings for that no good drilled one, Heck, I might even go as high as 3. Nice find!
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
..from a penny bag. 1926 Aussie 6 pence - holed. Does it qualify as a George V find?
Oooooooohhhhhhhh....really nice find. I am jealous. My bank insists that they can't get me pennies in bags and that seems to be where all of the good stuff is found, like the never, ever found IHP for me!
First silver this year
