I saw something about folks making charms out of coins. Is that what is going on here and God bless I wish this didn’t have e holes in it.

You can't ever tell why people would abuse coins like this. They are definitely drill holes though. It has completely negated the value of this Barber Quarter, and that is sad.

Maybe someone had it sewn into their jacket lining for safe keeping.

Whatever the reason it is post damage.

And the answer to the question "why" is, "because they can".

It might have been mounted somewhere, like a belt buckle, purse backpack or above a door frame...as Bob has mentioned it could have been any number of thousands of reasons.
