In the examples of the radio PCB's they are drilled for the coil, usually 3 terminals one side & two on the other.
I have not seen these Chinese 455/470 Khz coils sold separately, or in sets.

Are you thinking of the Japanese Toko coils, or has that company ceased making them?
I remember using them and Mullard 'Lockfit' transistors for the IF strip of a AM radio we built on stripboard in College around 1984. So you know where I got the desire to build radios from.
