Still can't lock down an id, these things hurt my eyes trying to figure it out.

these things seem to have proven hard to identify, no takers eh? I've spent hours looking, seemingly in the wrong spots. any other direction to look would be very much appreciated.

Those are always hard. Maybe some of the experts will get in the forum sooner or later. I do think the first one is an American cent....:icon_scratch: Anyway Good Luck with the ID

Heavy damage and hard to see in only one shot, but if I had to guess (and it is just that) you have a five or ten para piece (left) and two 1 para piece (middle and right). These would be from the " پاره" marking which they used to mark the paras with when the Lira was introduced in Turkey. I would suspect around 1227 (can't really make out the date cause of the wear and tear. As for value... I have zero idea.
