Cool. I never find money in antique stores.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

Hey MinerJohn! I'm a collector of British coins, so someone alerted me to your post. Some good stuff there. Pre-1860 British copper is especially cool, so nice score! Would you be able to post pics?

I'll post some pics. Let me see what comes out better, my scanner or digital camera and I'll get them on here.

Well the groat is worth more than 5$
What sort of shape are they in, good condition they would be worth ebaying.
I'm UK based so familar with those coins.
