Some clear pictures of the one side would help. They're old for sure though! Congrats on the coppers

Top left has the look of a state copper but I'd say Machins / George III. George II young head farthing at the top right. Most likely George II young head 1/2d at the bottom. Nice haul!

The farthing (a quarter or 'forthing' of a penny) is a George 2nd which dates it between 1727 and 1760. The halfpenny to the left of the farthing looks to be George 3rd which date it 1760 - 1820. There is not much value to them I'm afraid because of their condition but they are very nice finds.

No Georges in the 1600s as far as I know. You would have a William III if it's that old.

Tough condition, and a blurry pic makes it even harder... but the left side looks like George III (1770-1775) The Farthing is the young head George II (1730-1739) and the bottom Halfpenny also looks like a George II young head (1729-1739)

id be careful w/cleaning. They look pretty crusty but take it slow and don't get too aggressive and you might get some detail off of them
awesome finds by the way!!
