In the past many coins were "holed" for a number of different reasons. One reason was people would wear them on a bracelet or necklace. Another reason is that people would string coins together and wear them around their neck to avoid being seen with a lot of money which would invite robbery.
The relevance is some fool drilled a hole in it.
Most likely, the hole was created by someone, and if you think it was an accident at the mint, then stop reading here. if i were you, i would sell that half dime for the price of silver used
With a date of 1836 it's a Capped Bust dime. Unfortunately, the hole kills the collectible value of the coin. But, depending on the size and location of the hole, someone may want it. Maybe $5.00.
It's at least worth its silver value, about $2. If you have a 1916-D Mercury dime, be prepared to cry and hope you don't meet the person who put a hole in it. Undamaged, a 1916-D would retail for a minimum of $1000. On the off chance that's what you have, there may be enough interest in it to get more than its metal value, depending on how and why the hole was drilled/punched.
Unfortunately the coin is only valued for the silver (about $2.00) unless someone wants it.
A dime sized hole.

Burr hole
If the hole is really on the size of a dime then you should not worry about the price you can fix it yourself. All you need are some tides and cover the hole.
a quarter size

falling to it's death down a hole
The hole totally kills the collectible value of the coin. Unless you find someone that wants it, the value is only for the silver, and that depends on how much weight was lost by the hole..
you have to push a human being through a little hole.... or in other words u gotta push something the size of a watermelon out of a hole the size of a dime or nickel
