Hi all so ya, got another cigar box full of coins and things. some of the coins were pretty toasted. and dirty. the Buffalo nickels are either painted black or have black marker on them. haven't been able to clean it of yet. plenty of good coins and these, which i don't know what they are and tried to clean the toasted one buy soaking in olive oil over night and using a tooth brush on it. could us a pointer on cleaning toasted coppers and brass. so any way here are the coins in question.
thank you for looking and for all your feed back .Jimby, the last picture is the obverse only the reverse of this coin was totally toasted.

Really hard to tell what they are due to the condition they are in. Take them to a coin dealer. Looks like copper on the last pic....DW

thanks for looking ,here is a photo of the first one  with a measurement and next to a u.s. quarter. the next three photos turned out to be a really badly unsavable British half penny . the last one cleaned up, and turned out to be a very rough 1807 U.S large cent. still need help on the first . thanks again all .Jimby  Waveing

The Large Cent might have value even if it is damaged by the soil. They were minted in very small quantities and few survive.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
