Yeah, a little. Do you have any specific questions about them?

I was considering purchasing one but have since dismissed that idea.

Just found these coins in my collection and thought you might be happy to see them.



From left to right:-
Farthing. No date. LAUER below Britannia on reverse (but damaged). Weight 0.61g. Diameter 14mm
One Penny. No date. LAUER below Britannia on reverse. Weight 0.60g. Diameter 14mm
3 Pence. 1887. LAUER on obverse. Weight 0.46g. Diameter 13mm

If you want full wording on any or all of the coins then please ask.

Material unknown on all three, but first one is definitely different

Nice coins (or tokens) and you photographed them very well, its odd that they are the same size, I would think the penny one would be bigger.

I am curious as to the metals used. As can be seen by the colour, the farthing is different. Any ideas?
