Picked up a few coins today but not sure what country a couple of them are from. Group picture ( Morgan dollar added for size)  This picture shows how thick 200 year old Great Britain pennies are.  Thanks for any information members might have on the next three coins. First coin, in hand I can see 1805 for the date. I am thinking it might be Ireland. I do have to say all the coins look better in hand than my pictures show.   Date 1708 not sure who Anna is?   Next coin, in hand coin has 1814 date same side has COM____E   Edited by GR58

All coins in the second row from the top and the first coin on the left in the third row from the top are Canadian Colonial tokens. Need closer up photos to determine exactly which ones and potential values.

I see British monarchs all around. Lots of Canadian coppers; all silver ones (apart from the Morgan) are Great Britain coins - shillings of queen Anne and George IV, and what seems to be a halfcrown (2.5 shillings) of William III |

The E mintmark under Anne's bust stands for Edinburgh mint where "British" coins were minted for a couple of years after the "Union" of England and Scotland had taken place in 1707.

svslav .. I wondered who that was .. William III .. it is a 1697.
None of my books go back that far.
Pretty sure there is a George the IIII (forth) also. (edit in the lot, silver coin touching the Morgan)

algol . Thanks for the information
In hand that 1797 is it a British Large cent looks very cool in hand.
Coppernickeldaddy I was planning in posting close up pictures of the Canada coin in the Canada section,
I just wanted to be sure what all the coins were before
I posted them their countries.

Yes, George IIII (or IV). If you follow my links you'll see the timeline and general info on who the dudes were.

Last one is a conder token - try and read the edge inscription and the town name on the obverse to find out its rarity. They were issued due to a shortage of change.
And I see a lovely cartwheel penny in that lot! You did not pay too much. A lovely selection with some really good condition pieces.

I don't think the 1797 is a penny, I think it is a two pence. If it is it is worth more than the $40 all by itself.
And none of those pieces are Conder tokens.
