Found all 3 of these over the Summer. Can anyone help? Thank you! 20190125_165522.jpg20190125_164923.jpg20190125_164345.jpg20190125_164730.jpg20190125_165132.jpg20190125_165256.jpg
 

Can you take pics of each individually laying flat with the same coin (dime,nickel,quarter?) beside each one for size reference?

I think the shiny one is a Roosevelt dime. Just kidding. Wish I could help, but I have no idea. Nice finds though.

hard to tell try finding a safe way to clean them I think they are pretty far gone any way to hurt them.

Where were they found, a field, riverbed or what? I have not found any coins with that sort of corrosion on them before.

Try measuring them carefully and comparing the size to the known sizes of coins.

I've found plenty like that "Toast" in wet areas.

Looks like beach finds. One is a Lincoln penny. I think. The third row of pics I would bet is a penny. The others are interesting. You'll have to clean them up a bit for Id. Congrats, hope they turn out to be something good for you.

The one on the jeans, (denim) looks to me like a possible war penny. (steel) Try putting a magnet to it, see if it sticks...

One looks like a worn George halfpenny, though I may be wrong. The last one looks like a corroded zincoln. Were these found in salt water or on land?
