I just bought this lot today. I am trying to figure out what that coin is under the 1917 Walker. Looks a little small to be a large cent. Is it a Capped Bust quarter?

Looks like a classic head Half Cent. Possibly with a hole in it.

Oh, I forgot about those, could be Classic Head Half Cent. Yes, could be a hole, got to see the reverse. Hope I can make out the date.

From the pictures in the body of the auction it is clearly a Half Cent. The color in the initial picture makes it look like silver but in the closer pictures in the body of the auction it is clearly copper.

Definitely a classic head Half Cent. What's also interesting is that the large cent under the gold coin with the hole in it appears to be an 1839 Booby Head variety unless I'm mistaken.

I was asking myself that too, "is that a booby head?". It looked like one. Don't forget the emphasis on the silver certificates which I think I will just spend or give it to the teller at the bank that saves those. Kind of like these notes below that came with 36 Barber and Mercury dimes I bought which I didn't include in my max bid. Someone appeared to have bought the 100 Antartican dollars for $32 even though it is not legal currency.
