Is there a way to identify the actual year or is it just the range?
Well exact year is not possible.Exact year is not possible, but the date range can be narrowed down slightly, by careful comparison of the shapes of the characters. Take the bottom-right quarter of the top character - the part that looks like a letter "Z" on the first two coins? That means those coins are older, roughly 1740-1770. That same part of the top character looks like a fish-hook or backwards "J" on the third coin; that indicates this coin is later, roughly 1770-1790.
This doesn't add anything to the value, unfortunately, but it may add slightly to the interest.
