Whoops, just resized them for you and I see you managed it :headbang:
Also, try and avoid a light background for your pics. Use a dark blue background in natural light.

Image 007 appears to be the rare 1793-1796 Liberty Cap (US) large cent. If so, you have an historic and monetary valuable coin. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. Others here can confirm (or not) this ID and how to treat the coin.

Guessing your bottom coin is an Irish Half Penny similar to this:

Thanks Don, I have ben trying to look this coin up in a book I have and concluded that it is Irish. It has the date 1724 and the letters DEI above the head suggesting it may be a woods half penny. These coins make a total of ten coins ( all big coppers ) that I've found in this small field.

Yup, it is a Wood's, either halfpenny or farthing depending on the size. Nice!

The Liberty Cap appears to be a 1795 Large Cent, hard to say with certainty, but by the position of the date it matches one of the varieties of that year for position of the numbers.

Good digs! The 1724 Woods Hibernia is much more uncommon to dig than the 1723. The 24 is the key date so to speak.
