18th century trifecta?

[Hunting_Dad]

I got out Sunday for the first time in months and I am sure glad I did!
In addition to a small handful of relics and clad coins, I managed to pull three old "coins"from the ground too. The first was a pretty smooth KGII, no date. The second was a super crusty larger cent (more on that in a bit). And the third was actually not a coin at all, but a gilded George III Spade Guinea gaming token from the late 1700...nearly had a heart attack when I first saw gold.

The KGII and the token are clearly pre-1800 and I have my suspicions that the large cent is too. I can make out enough of the twig "wreath" on the reverse to know for sure it is a large cent.... the leaves also appear to converge at the top rather than form a continuous circle, but I cant be sure of that. I think I see enough of the head to "call it' but I am not sure if thats not just my brain filling in holes and connection dots..... figured I would see if you all saw anything.

Thanks for looking

Nice finds. What part of the country? I see a seam on your unknown LC and the fact that the edge is crumbling makes me think it's not a coin, but that's just my observation from the pics you provided.

Erik,
Our new england soils can be rough on coins...
Despite my inability to capture it in a photo, the twig wreath on the reverse is clear with indirect lighting. It also has a pronounced rim and the correct diameter/weight. That imperfection caught my eye as well and I would not rule out a counterfeit.

I jumped over to my phone to grab a pic of the reverse... not a great pic, it is clearer to the naked eye but i think you can see the wreath

Hi - I'm in NJ and our soil can be horrendous on coins, but copper coins don't crumble like that. Hard to see the wreath in your pic, but since you say it's there, there's a seam on the back, and it's cratered and crumbling, I'd say it's def a contemporary lead alloy counterfeit, which in my opinion is much better than a dug large cent. Congrats!
