Great finds Doug - well done !
We find a lot of "Holed" 1800's coins here in the US.
Holes were often punched or drilled in coins so they could be put on a string or wire and worn under clothing to help prevent loss or theft.
Certainly more plausible buddy.
Lizzy coin love token.... Lots found in the U.K.
