Rembrandt electronics in the Netherlands is selling copper eyelets on Ebay. You can get a nice assortment of various sizes for around $22 USD. They also sell small lots of one size. Just search for TH eyelets
Why would you want them made of copper? It corrodes in air and makes soldering harder. I've only ever seen PCB eyelets made of brass, which seems to stay solderable forever.
Unless you're repairing the drive electronics of a Tesla, I doubt the difference in resistance makes a difference.

It looks like the Rembrandt store is down due to family health issues - that doesn't sound good. Does anyone have a good source for inexpensive rivet assortments, or knows where Rembrandt was sourcing their rivets? I could use a handful in the smaller diameters and it looks like the Aliexpress rivets are larger.
Just drill a smaller hole and use a piece of wire. Cut flush. Works great, and it's hard to beat the price. Attached is a poor picture of a couple of projects. Both sides of the board are shown.

I've done this before. Several years ago I had access to an LPKF PCB mill and resorted to doing this in order to make double-sided boards.
However, the wire method doesn't work for my present use case, which is repairing damaged plated through holes in 2-sided PCBs. I need to be able to insert a component lead through the hole.

Why not use that component lead as the "wire?" Sounds like your mind is made up, so get out your checkbook.
