#5 is an Indian Heat Cent obverse, I think. Headdress feathers to the left. Denticles.

Ok, I'm NOT gonna look anything up. Some of these I think I know, but I'm not terribly familiar with some of the designs. So excuse me if any of my answers are stupid

1. V nickel
2. Morgan dollar
3. Lincoln Cent
4. Barber coin of some sort
5. Indian Head cent
6. St. Gauden's Double Eagle
7. Morgan dollar (I think? Something seems off though...)
8. I have no idea. Maybe a $1 gold coin of some sort?

I think 3 is a Lincoln, but I thought at first it was a Washington Presidential dollar. It kinda looks like one, maybe a bit distorted...

My guess on the last one is a Coronet Gold coin but I can't figure out which one. I'm guessing either a $5 or a $20 Liberty.

Braided Hair Large Cent. Wait, no. It's a Coronet Head Large Cent.

Trying to narrow down a specific date now.

OK, final answer is 1827 Coronet Head Large Cent.

Other possible years are 1830 and 1831 Coronet Head, large letters; 1831 medium letters, 1832 large or medium letters.
