Hey, CU oldtimers- remember THIS?
I sold all my "holey" coin collection seven years ago. But somehow they still keep finding me. Just pinned some on a cork board at my desk, because... well... because.
Maybe I'll get back in the game, a little. Only as a cheap, very casual sideline, mind you. I'm not gonna buy holey Draped Bust silver or gold coins, the way I did in the old days. Just cheap stuff.
Maybe start a holey, virtual 7070 type set. Or do Indian cents. I just realized I have nine different dates of those, so ... why not? Yeah. I think I'll start a holed Indian cent collection on my cork board. Maybe one day I'll take the old Holey Coin Vest and top hat out of mothballs.
Open those junk boxes! Who's got some holey Indian Head cents for me?

I just separated out a whole bag of these . . . . . .
Not sure if there are any Indian Cents in there, but I'll get them out tonight for a few "Glamour Shots" . . . . . .

That’s fun stuff, but I’ll save my limited resources for my primary “Eclectic Box” slabbed collection of more mainstream, non-holed stuff, and just work on the casual, sideline holey collection on the cheap.
If you ever wanna see some truly amazing holey coins, @HoledandCreative is the king.
Holey cow batman! The use of the hole was very utilitarian. The first few reales I dug are holed. Wonder when pants pockets were invented? Thanks for this kernel of numismatic candy. Peace Roy

Most of the Spanish reales I dug up were holed, too. Ditto the half dimes. Come to think of it, I don’t recall ever finding a half dime that wasn’t holed. People tried not to lose their small coins. A bit of string helped with that.
