These four were found at 3 different sites today. A park, a old home site and another old home site. The 1890 is holed. Usually the older dated coins are holed. Also pictured are the clad and wheaties I found as well. The bottom 8 are the wheaties oldest is 1918. Also found a silver ring and old spoon plus a cool little toy car. Those are not pictured because this is a coin forum.
Nice find. A long time ago it must have been very popular to hole coins to wear. Look what I bought off of ebay for my 8 year old daughter to wear (and she has, to school) a 1900 off center au coin with a nice hole in it. I told her some woman wore it a hundred years ago. Nice way to turn a hundred dollar coin into a 16 dollar coin.
Great finds. I like the coin jewelry thing. It is part of the life cycle of coins to be used in ways other than direct commerce or collecting. That Indian necklace is wonderful, wish I had found it first.
