Like A Hole In The Head
Quarters are the easy coin to drill to make jewelry with because the size allows for secure clamping. I have found quarters with holes in my change before.
This one seems like a halfhearted effort. The drilling exposed the copper core and looked clean but the person stopped before punching through. If it would have went through the other side it would surface under the bison in front of the 2006 date.
The possible pendant would have looked weird since it drills through Washington's head and puts the reverse upside down so maybe that is why the person stopped drilling. This coin is now damaged and holds no extra value, although it never did while it circulated.

Hah! Love the title - good one ;)
I literally just found a dime 2 days ago that had a similar hole in the head too - only more in the cheek area... Always fun seeing coins that have been played around with!

Agreed, seeing how easy it is to get and mess with coins I am surprised I have not seen more.
