Any help identifying these and possibly giving a estimate of worth would be greatly appreciated. It would be fitting to start with the Presidential coin since it is the Very first thing I found with a Radio Shack MD over 25 years ago!!, this was found in Buffalo N.Y in a park called heacock park, it was more like a large grassy area with about 60 chestnut trees planted all over. The back of the coin reads "our Chet" "first gentleman of the land", around the coin. Then in the center It reads Q.M general in civil war collector of port of New York Vice President became president upon death of garfield favored civil service promotion.
Next the silver Cobb which was given to me by my grandfather over 25 years ago, which was subsequently paired with an even larger gold doubloon which was stolen from my show and tell display in 2nd grade!! I even know who took it but the teacher would not search him. Still harboring some resentment from that one. The back of that reads eight reales silver cob, peso "bout barre dargent".
Then an 1832 1/2 cent? don't remember where I got that from.
And lastly some quite large 1/2 penny's.
I have been following posts on treasure net for some time now and I know you guys are good, real good at this, so any help on these coins would help put my mind at ease finally!!!!
