It can be soldered. Take it to a jewelery repair shop. This is not a huge job and should not be very expensive. The coin will never have full value after being drilled, however.
You can use Silver Solder. Very easy to use.
Hobby Lobby has many things to repair silver.
You can buy a metal punch at most hardware store and with a tap of a hammer you’ll have a hole of the punch size in the coin.
It’s illigal to do this.
I’m sorry but rules are rules and that is the way it goes.
Only an expert can do it. I believe they use silver solder. They have years of experience. It is not illegal to do it as long as no fraud takes place. You can not sell it as an undamaged coin, besides any coin repaired this way by the average person, will stick out anyway to collectors. You can get a piece of the solder from a jeweler. If you watch what you are doing and take your time and must have a steady hand, you can do it so that it don’t look to bad. if a valuable coin don’t do it but take it to a dealer who can send it in to be repaired by the pro’s.
