I have no intention of selling any of them; my grand- and great-grand kids will get them, with historical notes as possible, when I depart. 1: .830 X .877 inches; 3.9/4.0 grams; copper or bronze. 2 & 3: .629 X .666 inches; 1.8 & 2.0 grams; copper. 4. .539 X .555 inches; 1.1 grams; copper or bronze.
