The first one is large like a silver dollar and from 1828. The second one is nickel size and from 1869. The third one is frosted...not painted...and is clad but it just looks funny and the bank sorter rejects it. Sorry for the poor pictures but I'm not good at photography.

the 1869 is a English coin not sure on the first. The 3rd is a half dollar might be done on a silver patchlet. Good finds
 

Weigh the half it could be 40% silver. I sure looks like it could be. Some are reported to exist.

Didn't know you had a "What is it ?" section...I'm new...I posted it there but since people have answered it here is it OK to leave it?
Thanks,

You've got a Victorian Farthing for your British coin, its not a rare date, but is an interesting find nonetheless. Its a 4th of a penny, but not a 400th of a pound, it is worth 1/960 of a pound due to back in the pre-decimal era there were 12 pence to the shilling and 20 shillings to a pound, therefore a penny was 1/240 of a pound.

After checking my copy of Freeman, it doesn't seem like there are any rare die varieties for that year either. Its worth about 50 cents- $1 simply as a curiosity.
 

1828 Sweden 1 skilling for the first coin. The other coin was already IDed and appraised. The Swedish coin is worth $4-$8.

I weighed the half and it's 9.1g...which is weird because it should weigh 11.34.
