It's hard to say from the picture what exactly is going on there. It looks awfully linear to be a plating bubble, but I don't know. This kind of...
PS- that figure standing on the globe is Fortuna, the personification of Luck. In the Wikipedia page about her that I just linked to, it shows...
The last one is definitely Irish, and ca. 1806, as mentioned, but I think it could be a farthing rather than a halfpenny. How big is it? Closer...
I think it's a Denmark/Gluckstadt 1/16 thaler (1/16 Speciedaler), as Aethelred mentioned. Should be KM11, or similar. Here is one on eBay, but...

Great Britain or 1901, to the next player. [IMG]
"Spanish mint" was certainly my guess. What a "bullheaded" portrait! Claudius looks like quite a bruiser in the OP coin! Was probably much more...
PS- actually, it does look sort of like most of the hairlines there are on the plastic, eh? All the better, if that's the case.
Not as purty as some posted here, but hey, the price was right... :) Here's the rest of the story about that day's outing. The first picture...

Neat. Nicer than the one I had, too. Mine was sans-lituus. [IMG]
