One reason for holed coins 1955 dime

[dooly]

Hi all

 

picked this up today and it shows why some coins were holed .. it is sealed in a heavy plastic

 

Inscription:

Recived from Bill Fallow 2/14/59 for longest drive on 7th hole INDIAN VALLEY golf course regained from Ken Clark 2/21/59 for an even longer drive same hole

 

Offered to Ken Clark? on the 18th hole Riverside 2/23/58- but he couldn't match my 300yard drive regained for longest drive 2nd hole FOLO ALTO ? 1/7/58 390 yard hole DRIVE and GREEN

Regained from Ken Clarke for longest drive 13th hole Tilden 1/28/59 poor Ken -sore feet-sore arms-dub-de-dub-dub

 

 

I take it these are american courses .. a hole in one

Cool piece. I believe it likely states "Palo Alto" where you aren't certain about one location and I think the last date is 3/28/59 instead of 1/28/59.

Palo Alto Golf Course was started in the 1930s bet there are a nice few coins which have been dropped there over the years

Now that is neat because it has the story and "documentation" to go with it. Without it it is just so much scrap silver. (It's interest and value increases if you know who the people in question are. No I don't.)

I suppose you have all the dates and names so it should not be that hard to look them up in the club records or local history centre

 

I wonder if this is the company who made the label
