Just as well I didn't bid then, the only coins I was after were the seated Liberty dime and the William IV threepence. Both of them have holes through the dates. Yeuch

Seated Liberty dime is 1888 and the 3d Edward V11 Maundy is 1902
What is the Canadian coin. My guess is a 5 cent coin. Also what is the year. The necklace is nice if you wanted to wear it but I don't think it has a ton of numismatic value due to every coin being holed.

The Canadian coin is a 5cent 1899 and i bought for the fun of finding out all the coins and the 1888 5cent (rare) it also has a front half of a rearing horse mint mark stamp on 1 of the clasps--but its nickel so I am not sure -year?
Ah is it a 4d? they're both similar size and the front wasn't showing in the pics. Yeah, I needed one of those too, I'll wait till I can find one that's not holed.
The 1888 USA 5c nickel starts at $26US in G condition and I would say this without the holes would be VF at least.
The 1888 USA dime starts at $12US in G condition.
The German 1700 schilling no price listed
and so on
so I think money well spent due to I now have coins that I didn't have before.
Personally I think that coins are only really worth what somebody is willing to pay. Sure the nickel may have a catalogue value of $26 in VG but do you really think someone would pay $26 for a coin in VF with two fat holes in it instead of paying $26 for a coin without holes in a VG condition?
If you need the coins for your personal collection and you're happy with the price then you got a good deal. But I'm dubious about putting catalogue values on anything with holes in them. You need to ask yourself if the double holed coin was listed by itself on an online auction site would you have bid on it?
