WTB: Indian cents, HOLED

I’m doing a date set of “holey” Indian cents as a casual sideline. (Pinning ‘em on my cork board.)

Want them with one hole (the smaller and tidier the better) at or near the top of the obverse. Coins must be decent looking aside from the holes. Old cleaning is OK, but I don’t want otherwise damaged or rough pieces.

I’m only doing a year set (not mints or varieties), so I’m not concerned with the S-mints from 1908-09. I suppose I’ll drill a hole in a replica for the 1877. (But otherwise I want old holes only- I don’t “drill my own”.)

Here is what I have so far:

1862
1864 bronze (ragged and poorly placed hole)
1866
1886
1888
1890
1897
1900
1904
1905

    Thanks to those who have offered.

    I have picked up an 1862.

    I should add that I’m only interested in pieces that are decent looking aside from the hole- and only want them with one well-placed hole at or near the top of the Indian head side.

    Old holes only- I don’t drill my own. That’s “cheating”. (Though I’ll make one exception to that rule if I find an 1877 replica to drill.)

    Too bad, mine have holes at the bottom of the reverse side :wink:
