somehow, some of them became out of order.. I think Ive just developed carpal tunnel.. There is also an (30-40) amount of pennies all dated from 1944-1964, plus some confederate paper notes and a tin of silver (colored?) pennies, all dating 1943 and two of which having a D mint mark. any significance?<<<zinc, ahhh..
The wheat reverses (pre-1959) are worth 1-4¢ each, the later ones are worth 1-1.5¢ Zinc plated steel, worth 1-6¢ each unless they are spotless mint state. BTW most people don't consider anything less than 1,000 cents to be a "large amount". It's not uncommon for a long-time collector to have more than 10,000.
Agreed. From what we can see in these closer images, the OP should treat the gold pieces with a huge degree of caution. Probably safest to assume they're not authentic until they can get the coins weight determined and get them examined in hand by a professional of these coins.
Those coins on the bottom are roman. I want to place them around 300-400A.D. Not sure who's on it, but I have a few like that myself. I want to say Constantius II, but could be mistaken. In response to the thread with the ancient coins on it. The British penny that was drilled through isn't worth much due to the drilling. Likewise, the Large Cent has an H scratched into liberty's face, so that won't get much either. I think a lot of the copper coins have far too much copper oxide damage to be worth much. You do have some nice British and Canadian coins overall. Some of them are worth decent money.
I guess Im going to make the drive to a coin shop (closest one being more than an hour away), Ill make sure to post the gold piece's weights. for everyones sake, including my own. Thanks again everyone for all of the input.
