1827 Half Dollar in Coin Lot

The year is 1856. You have just purchased provisions for a long journey from Charleston to New Orleans. You pay with a $5 gold piece. Here's your change sir, $1.5.

Thank you, but I just realized I need another crate of sugar cane, tobacco, and spices, here's $1.

Here's the 1923 Peruvian Sol, such a cool looking coin. Wonder if the design of the American trade dollar or other American Seated Liberty coins inspired it.

The neglected 1836 capped bust half dollar. (The same year Texas broke away from Mexico and declared itself an independent republic, how cool is that!? Maybe Sam Houston himself once owned this).

One of the many V nickles, all in a similar condition, maybe worth a few bucks each:
