A Holey 7070 type set... sorta...

I decided to go through my random assortment of holed US coins to see how far along towards a basic 19th century type set they would be.
Mind you, just the 19th century types recognized in the popular Dansco #7070 albums, so no Draped Bust silver or gold, or post-1900 stuff.
These are on a couple of small cork boards on my desk, for the time being. Maybe someday I’ll do a fancier cork board arrangement.
The large grouping of coins and tokens off in one corner are pieces that are not part of the type set or my Holey Coin Hat.
It’s just a start. I sold all my old holey collections, so this is just what has re-accumulated since.

If anybody wants to try this themselves, I’m happy to share the Word document for those backpaper templates. Just print, cut out, add your own cork board, map pins, and holey coins, and off you go! Think of it as like a free album.
Just message me your email address if you want the templates.
It’s cheaper than doing the 7070 album the “normal” way!
(I will be tweaking the templates- I made a goof and accidentally skipped the Flying Eagle cent.)

@LukeMarshall just took over my holey Indian cent date set, but as you can see, I've still got a corkboard collection going!
I really like the format of your template display layout! Very impressive! 👍🏻 👍🏻

Very different idea. I like it!
@lordmarcovan ... Very nice... and keeping the 'holey' tradition alive and visible. Cheers, RickO
Holey cow!

I've been unofficially putting together something similar... I'd like to get a basic type set of holed coins that are engraved, carved or counter stamped.
Here are a few, I might have to dig around and see what other types I've got so far.
Improved cork board. All on one now. New additions. Not shown: I bought a Seated dollar.
I like it. Holey coins are interesting in context. And you're organized to boot. Peace Roy
