Also the first penny is dated 1919. It didn't show the dates very good. Also if they are crap I don't mind if you say so.

Lucky finds! Could you list the dates/mintmarks of the coins and how you found them? Thanks!
And also, those are far from crap. These coins have been around for decades and all worth more than face value. Except the nickel depending on the date.
Sorry I can't help you on the tokens. Any exonumia experts here?

Ok they say
1919
1934
1935
1939 two of them
1944
1946

The rest don't have mint marks
I found them in the pockets of coats and such in a home that has belonged to my husbands family for 100 years.

None of the items are particularly rare or valuable, that I can judge. You'd pay a dollar or two for most of them from a coin dealer. I think the most valuable item I can clearly identify in the pics is the "Thurston the Magician" lucky charm. Here's one selling for $30 on eBay. The piece with a large central hole in it is a Japanese 5 yen dated 1977. It is made of brass and is supposed to be yellow in colour, not black. I cannot ID the small bronze medal with a hole at the top, nor the larger medal that seems to have a smaller coin or medal embedded in it. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thank you for your help. Like I said I just took these from around the house. So the value in them might be just to keep in the trunk of memories from his family.

But if there was one worth thousands I would have to reconsider. Lol

Still great finds no matter the value! Darn, I still haven't found that 1949-D from coin roll hunting yet...  |

Yep, I found one. Are you just looking to find one in a roll?

Found one what?
If I were you, why not start collecting coins? It's a great hobby, and you already have some great coins. I love those medals! Very neat.
