Nice card.
The hole is perfectly round, a NM hole, with no irregularities or powder burns.
Tinker's nose is well preserved in NM-MT condition despite its proximity to the hole.
Both the entrance and exit wounds are equally clean.
The exit through the top half of the V only in no way interferes with the legibility of the text on the reverse.
I have considered the possibility of the hole being a distraction to divert my attention from a trimming of the card, but the card measures correctly and the edges and corners do not appear tampered with in any way. I conclude therefore that this must be a rarely seen factory hole.
There appears to be a small insignificant crease/wrinkle or two outside the left shoulder. A 2 point deduction for this defect in my opinion.
Since the owner of this card is a nice guy, helpinghumans, and since he paid for this assessment, I'm going to recommend a grade of 5MC with a suggested retail value of $199.99.
