Nice coins! I did a bit of research on some of your coins....

First coin:

Federal Union.jpg

This is a Civil War Patriotic Token. Seems worth some decent money! I found this link:

The coin with the letter "C" on it REALLY reminds me of the letter C you see in Civil War type of emblems (Confederate). Since we know it is not a real US mint type coin, may be a good idea to crop the picture of that one and post it in the TOKEN section as well as the CIVIL WAR section of Treasurenet.

The three silver coins you have there seem like they could be "cobs" (spanish silver). May be a good idea to post that in the COBS section of treasurenet. There are some fantastic people there than can give you some more detail on those.

As for the coin in the upper left of your picture (largest diameter and has what looks like a shield on it), I am truly lost. Everytime I look at it, I think "sheild nickel".. but the sheild is way too small!

Great coins, and good luck on getting more info!

The two are Spanish reales, but not cobs. The other silver is Brit. or Canadian, and the copper at he top looks British.
