No US coin should have a hole. Since yours has one it has lost all collector value. There is goods news though. Since the coin is made of gold it still has a metal value. In 1861 the US made $1, $2.5, $3, $5, $10, and $20 dollar gold coins. find which denomination you have. If you have a $1 gold coin it would be worth about $67 in gold. If it's a $2.5 coin it's value is around $168. $5=$336. $10=$672.

Keep in mind though that the hole will take away some value since it doesn't weigh as much anymore.

1882 five dollar gold coin that was drilled through by a jeweler and i was wanting to know is there any worth to it?

August 11, 2009 Generally, drilling a hole in a coin lowers its value considerably. If your coin was minted in Philadelphia or San Francisco, then it is probably not worth too much more than gold value which is $114.32 today. If it was minted in Carson City then it probably has a little more value since these were minted in lower quantities.
