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...
