Hello all. I'm curious as to if anybody has a little insight bout these coins. First is an 1864 2 Cent piece. Second is an 1867 3 cent piece, and third is an 1862 Indian Head. The last is a Civil War Confederate Naval button. Also, at the bottom, is a strange Napoleon coin. It seems to be "ghosting." It's the size of a quarter and very flat.

P.S. they show up a little out of order on my phone. Not sure how it'll look for you all. Thanks for looking. 20190119_153751.jpg 20190119_153702.jpg 20190119_153900.jpg 20190119_153947.jpg 20190119_153533.jpg 20190119_153609.jpg 20190119_153233.jpg

Nice finds and congrats! It is somewhat odd, at least for me, to see such an early coin as the Napoleon Empereur Coin to have a Full Counter-Brockage on the side where the Date and Denomination should be. The coin appears that it may be Silver and an early issue (1804-1815) with the younger head (bust) facing right. If an authentic coin and an authentic Full Counter-Brockage Error at that, it could be worth quite a bit.

Can you tell us more about the button? Wat size is it? What is on the back? Are there 16 stars around the front? Is it 1-piece? I can tell you it is not Confederate and it is not civil war era. It looks like an early 1800s Federal Navy but the more information you provide the better we can ID it.
