Question
Hi: I have a silver coin with a hole that has been drilled thru the coin. How do I go about filling the hole? Thanks
Sorry, I am not an expert on coin repair. Jewelers might be able to help. Or go to www.google.com and try a search for "coin repair hole" or something like that (maybe try fill too). My understanding is that a hole can't be filled so that an expert won't be able to tell. Hope this helps, Jim Lawniczak
