1742 Half Penny? Weighs 9.96 grams and has a diameter of 28mm.

I'm afraid I cannot take credit for the photos, these came from the seller.

More great info, thanks again YeOldeCollector. I will have accurate weights and diameters sometime on Monday.

Here are the next two coins in line...

1727 Shilling or Sixpence, weighs 5.97 grams and has a diameter of 26mm.

The quality of the G*R engraving suggests this may have been a presentation piece and not graffiti. Any experts out there who could say for sure?

Anyway, a fantastic coin despite the obvious graffiti.

This appears to be a 1723 Dump Issue Farthing. It weighs 5.06 grams and has a diameter of 23mm.

Fantastic information YeOldeCollector, and greatly appreciated.

I have been told that the 1697 coin is most likely a farthing and not a half penny.

I realize now that I need to provide an accurate weight and diameter for these coins and will do so as soon as I get a day off from work and can liberate them from the sealed Heritage holders. Hopefully on Monday.

Until then here are the next two...

Battered but beautiful indeed. Appears to have hit the floor numerous times. Or perhaps used in lieu of a hockey puck...

Fantastic photo Constanius, really shows off the high relief.

I am curious! What is a coinstar collection?

A Coinstar Collection is a group of coins found in the reject bin of Coinstar coin counting machines. Free except for your time and effort.

The second coin appears to be a 1697 Farthing or Half Penny. It weighs 5.61 grams and has a diameter of 23mm.

I bought a lot (#23988) of nineteen British coins recently at the Heritage Long Beach auction on a whim and would like to request some help identifying and grading them plus assigning baseline values.

I plan on keeping about one third of these and selling off the rest (probably here) so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

As you may or may not know I am pretty active collecting Conder Tokens, especially the Pidcock series, but will definitely need help with the others.

The first coin appears to be a Henry V Groat (Henricus). It weighs 3.75 grams and has a diameter of 25mm. I am told the condition is Nearly Fine.

I will add a new coin or two every day or so and look forward to any and all comments.

1950 Roosevelt dime. Made my day!

Also an ugly Mitsubishi...

Gold coins are especially hard to photograph and you have done a very good job Elliott.

I got lucky with this Swiss Shooting Medal, both being able to own one and then actually getting a decent photograph...

3 of 3 that may eventually be sold to pay for more Holy Freres/Hans Frei medals.....

I love to buy them, I hate to sell.

1 of 3 that may eventually be sold to pay for more Holy Freres/Hans Frei medals.....

And another from a Heritage lot...

And a very hard to find one that I was lucky to obtain from Rod's dad.....

I'm still here Rod, just very busy at work.

Here is a new Hans Frei medal I picked up recently in a Heritage auction that I have been looking for what seems like years...

I would love to see a photo of the Gilpin shilling if at all possible.

Actually pretty beat up and laughed at by NGC but I like it, the coin has character.

A real beauty Rod, if you get tired of it let me know.

I have to agree with Constanius that this is most likely brass, made from melted cannons and bells.

These were struck in gold and silver but those examples are exceptionally rare.

Here's my (brass) gunmoney, found in a hidden compartment of an old desk by a London antiques dealer...

I would say it's a game token too.

Interesting medal.
