This cannot be a naturally circulated coin.
Could be a pocket piece...

They know nothing.

Okay, they could be right, but I still like it as a pocket piece.

One thing for certain, I would be keeping it.


Yes, it's in a 2x2 and in a sleeve.

Yup. No date.


Hey Tom, send it my way, I'll put a date on it for you - any preference?

Despite an extremely hard life that may have included a stint underground, this is still identifiable as a 1904 Straits Settlements cent.

This other is a tough call. All I can tell is that it bears an earlier effigy of Queen Victoria wearing a crown, so I'd judge it to be some sort of mid-19th century colonial issue. It's 24.8 mm in diameter.

Nice pair!

That second one is certainly a head scratcher.

A recurring theme in this thread, British coppers circulated to such an extreme degree that they're rendered nearly unrecognizable.

The size of these (27.6 & 28.0 mm in diameter) leads me to believe they're George I halfpennies from the 1719 to 1724 period.
