    Some large-ish US coppers. I like 2-cent pieces when I can find them in the discount bin ($4.95). I don't know how great a price that is for very worn ones, but it's the cheapest I can find them. Also a large cent and two types of Indian heads showing the thicker Cu-Ni alloy compared to the later bronze type. US coppers.jpeg

    Voyage of HMS Challenger, 1895, a cast bronze award medal, by B. Rhind, 75mm. Inscribed on the edge to Edgar Albert Smith, one of the scientists analyzing the extensive plant and animal data from Challenger's voyage. (BHM 3487; E 1797).

    You might guess Smith's scientific specialty from his grave marker.
