Auction Finds

[J-dude]

Went to an auction today and scored these coins. Any help identifying them would be great!!! The first 3 pics are of the same coin and the last two pics are the 2ND coin. I also picked up 2 British half pennies from 1895 and 1897. Hoping for some good weather here tomorrow so I can get out and do some swinging!!!

The 2nd is a French Louis XVI Liard- Either 1787, 1789, 1791. There were two varieties of 1789.

Can't quite make out the first item... but the eagle design on the reverse reminds me of one of those "Kettle Tokens" - does the obverse resemble the 1795-1807 gold half eagle?

RelicHunter97 - Thanks for the info...is there any way to tell what year it may be? Any idea on the value?

Testing123 - Thank your for the feedback!! It is very faint but it sure does resemble the coin that you posted in the pic. Any idea on the value?

I really don't know much about them, but a search of ebay completed auction shows two that were recently for sale. Both had about $50-60 starting price and no takers. They were in a little bit better shape, so maybe yours could be worth about $10? Just a guess so don't quote me!!
