Hey all,

Hoping someone can help me identify these coppers. They were found in areas we were finding early-mid 1800s stuff. Sorry the picture isn't the greatest, but no matter... there is absolutely no detail left on any of them.

Here are the specs (left to right):

coin 1 - weight 6.28 g (96.5 grains), diameter 31 mm, thickness about 1 mm (sorry I don't have calipers)
coin 2 - weight 7.88 g (122 grains), diameter 30 mm, thickness also about 1 mm
coin 3 - weight 5.08 g (78.2 grains), diameter 27 mm, slightly thinner than coin 2.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Unfortunately without some detail on the coins it just isn't going to happen. Corroded half cent, large cent, colonial coppers, foreign coins, tokens, could be almost anything. I am obsessive about wanting to identify every coin I find, but have resigned myself to the fact that some just can't be identified.
