I do not have the older date Krause and would like some information on a few older Columbia coins. These were all minted by the Waterbury, Ct mint. I would like to know the KM numbers, size in mm, and weights in grams.

2 1/2 centavo 1881, KM#179? -- smaller one
2 1/2 centavo 1881, Y9 --larger one
5 centavos 1886, Y25, plain large 5 on reverse
5 centavos 1886, KM#183.2? -- there are two varieties (sm & lg top 5)
5 centavos 1888

Thanks to anyone who can help. -- Terrell
Rest in Peace
