Thanks, Space.
1856. USA large cent and a Nova Scotia halfpenny token. The large cent was from my wife's great uncle. I bought his coin collection from the estate when he passed.

Good ones, Space! Here comes another beautiful coin! 1852 US large cent; the date is readable, but the scan didn't really do it any favors.

Nice stuff, Space and AloneIBreak! Here's 1849.
One of the most beautiful florin designs in my opinion simply because of its minimal lettering. But this one-year type became popularly known as the "godless florin" because it did not include any reference to Dei Gratia (Latin for "by the grace of God") which is on ALL British coins in one form or another.
Second coin is a better condition fourpence, also known as a groat.

Here's 1842 but I gotta post my 1843 SET first. I thought it would be cool to find out which years I could put together the most coins. So here is one of those good years. Weird how the threepence and fourpence are actually the same size. Difference is in thickness. Three-halfpence was one of those odd denominations wasn't really used much except sometimes in colonies. And the half farthing is uncirculated, and actually still has some red to it. Amazing what you can find for a few bucks if it has a hole in it.

Now the 1842. Not nearly as purdy lookin, but it fits the bill for the date.

Gold... I'll trade ya! ;)
And that, fellas, brings us to the end of the long-lived Victorian era. Speaking of long-lived, Victoria was the longest-reigning British monarch ever, AND the longest-reigning female in history. To honor that, I am posting one more pic from 1838; then comes the 1837. And with it, her predecessor, William the fourth.
(Fun fact: If Queen Elizabeth II is still living on September 10th, 2015, she would overtake both of Victoria's "titles.")
So here they are. Four small silvers from Vic and one nickel-sized copper from Will.
