Instead of hunting my front yard today I went to the neighbors. Got these three coins. The Large cent is totally gone so I'm not even sure if it's a large sent. The diameter is larger than a quarter but other than that it's anyone's guess. The $.10 piece was in my plug about 4 inches down in a piece of copper wire was about 10 inches below that. I found the wire first and then remember to check my plug and I still got signal. I looked the coin up online and learned that it is .925 silver and struck at the Royal mint in London. I'm not sure though if this was the first year for this coin with queen Victoria on it. Any help from the coin experts would be appreciated. Thanks all

Very nice find, I'm a sicky for Vickies lol.

Hard to tell in your pic, but there are a couple of varieties that are valuable. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1495495949.937697.webp
