Old Coins & Tokens 1800's/1900's...

Hello to all! I've been metal detecting for over 30 years...here are some of the coins & tokens I've found up in the MA area, as well as NC.
Never got around to cleaning them up (heard it detracts from the value, if any of the coin/token)
Comments and observations most welcomed!
Here's a list of most in the pics...I could be wrong on a few...lol Enjoy & HH :hello:

1.) 1942 Vintage Bronze South Africa Penny Coin. George IV - Dromedaris (Ship)

2.) 1911 Canadian Silver 50 Cent piece.

3.) 1800's Large Cent

4.) 1800's Shield 2 Cent piece

5.) 1820 Large Cent

6.) Rare 1928 Amelia Earhart Famous Female Aviator Airplane Token / Medal Coin

7.) 1925 Minute Man badge token

8.) Waltham, Massachusetts Waltham Trust Company Bank Trade Token

9.) 2 Large Cent-sized 1800's coins.

10.) 1950's Benjamin Franklin Silver 50 cent

11.) 1834 Andrew Jackson Hard Times Token

12.) 1837 Bank of Lower Canada 1/2 Half Penny Toke

You can add 1700s too, because the bottom left is most likely a George II Halfpenny Circa. 1729-1739.

Really?!? 1700's wow! Had no clue! Thanks Iron for the keen eye/observation!

If you can match just one letter it's 1729-1739. That bust can be similar on some CT coppers, but matching a letter will eliminate that possibility.

Was the 1729-1739 half penny just the younger head version? Because they made George ii half penny's till 1754..
