Not too bad for $150, can you take a closer pic of the error in the corner?

With the gold Indian, you did very well. Are any of the Mercs a key? Washington's seem common as do SLQ's and assorted chump change

The 1842 I have no idea what it is? I assume it's a fake?   |

1940 and 1917. Was looking for a 1941 over stamped but no luck.

Providing the $2.50 gold pc is genuine you did really well.
do you have a photo of the 1842 reverse?

I have always dreamed about finding a 2.5$ gold piece at a yard sale, I honestly paid 20$ for it alone. probably should of just walked away after that but I really like everything else.  |

Congrats on your purchase.
Yes, I would also love to see the reverse of the 1842.

Thanks for uploading the 1842 reverse, I have no idea what it is Sorry.
Yes you did great on the gold Indian, but $130 for the rest is quite a lot. You are still ahead of the game, unless the gold pc turns out to be fake.

The 1842 looks like some sort of medal?

It looks like gold.. but not when I hold it up to my actual gold coins? I guess I should have it tested, but it has no date and the head is facing the opposite direction from normal.

Better photos of the $2.5 gold is what I'd want to see. For $130 the rest MIGHT be worth $40. The 1842 was specifically made for jewelry - it's not and never was a coin.
If the gold is good, you still did great. If it's not, it was not a great buy.

A Quarter Eagle at a yard sale?!  If it's real, you did very well. I like that off-center Lincoln too.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
