HI all and Happy Thanksgiving!! these are a couple of items i found and am not able to find much info on. i believe the queen vic half cent is a token. i found the same coin in a book but it was silver/nickel the one i have here appears to be copper. the highly deteriorated one appears to have george washington on it. any ideas on any of them?

First one looks like a coin, see above

I believe that the coin with an eagle & snake may be a c. 1910-17 Mexican Revolution period 5 centavos copper. Here's an example (left) from 1916, along with yours (right). There are quite a few varieties, but this should be close enough for comparison.

Cru, you're right.

The half cent is copper of 22.5mm and weighs 4.66 gms. Queen Victoria is on the obverse. The reverse shows a myrtle wreath with half cent within and East India Company against the plain edged rim. In all 18,737,498 of this coin were struck.

The third object is a double bust Washington presidential token. Both examples I found on Ebay were made of brass and had the same inscription on both sides. "1st President U.S.A. 1789-1797". Unfortunately, I can't transfer the pictures over(darn Auctiva!). Coincidently, both have a hole in the top right where the large broken area occurs on your specimen, so I'd say it's more of a medallion than a token. One side appears to have a rim, while the reverse is rimless, almost convex. No information from either auction about it's source or year it was "minted". Here's a link to the one with the best pictures.
