Offhand #3 is a 1/2 Batzen from Bern in the Swiss Cantons. I'll figure some more out when I get some free time.

thanks. I recognized "bernensis" but otherwise had no idea.

Looks like a very nice catch!
#1 looks like an authentic 1787 NOVA EBORAC (New York) colonial copper coin. Breen 986, Medium head, figure seated left on the reverse with the motto VIRT. ET LIB for VIRTUS ET LIBERTAS meaning "Strength and Freedom". In this condition it is still very collectible and highly prized.

SCORE! Any ideas on value for any? I got them for less than 2 euros each... The grade on #1 is better than on the scan- why is it always so?

#4 is 1812 Frederick VI of Denmark and Norway
#6 is a France Louis XIV jeton, I remember seeing this type somewhere, looks like a sun with zodiac on reverse. The flan split does not add value.
Have to help out with making dinner, have to go...

2 & 5 I can't read enough wording or see a date to figure out what they are. Overall it looks like a very nice haul for less than 2 Euro a piece. You definitely got your money's worth.

Regarding the NOVA EBORAC, I have not been following these closely enough for several years to know exactly what it would go for. However the values are listed in the RedBook. My RedBook is 1999  , so someone with a newer copy can check it for you. Here is one on ebay (IMHO overgraded) http://cgi.ebay.com/1787-Nova-Ebora...30_W0QQitemZ320143456262QQihZ011QQcategoryZ528QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Ok so in VF-30 it is $700.00? So would that make mine around $100-$150? By the way thanks Scoutim that helps show the coins better than my scanner! Unidentified 9:   Unidentified 10:   Unidentified 11:   Unidentified 12:   Unidentified 13:   Edited by pattiewhack

The Coat of Arms, ALBERTVS in the legend, and the AE monogram in the center of the "cross floree" are all good clues. Looks like #2 is a billon 1/2 patard (1/2 sol) from Flanders (KM #19) in the Spanish Netherlands (Belgium) issued in 1615 by Albert and IsabellaEdited to repair broken linkEdited by t360
