My weekend antique store finds

Went to Cape Cod over the weekend with my wife (and with*out* the kids) to celebrate our anniversary. Managed to find one antique shop with some coins, and scored a real nice 1971 Proof Set:
(My photography skills are lousy, the coins are definitely not)
I think I finally found a good place to use my four free submissions
They also had a box of Darkside (that is what you call 'foreign' here, no?) stuff, $.25 per coin, which yielded a U.S. copper cent blank, a New Brunswick large cent, several german minors from the 1880s and 1890s, and this bad boy:
The Irish clip is a copper coin about the size of a U.S. Half Dollar. So what do you think - do I finally suck?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I live in Boston myself. Been to the Cape many times. Never thought of shopping antique stores for coins though. Nice going.
We ARE watching you.
and as for the 71 proof set, they're at every show, 6-7 dollars, and ive yet to come home from a local let alone a national show without at least one 71 proof with cameos...they are a dime a dozen, and not one will score the king: jefferson 71pr69dcam.
believe me.

<< <i>Sean, excellent finds! Which of the Darkside coins did you buy? >>
Since I know next to nothing of their origin, it's easier just to show you:
The bottom center coin is dated 1893 and has no country or denomination, just a funky eagle like JohnZ's icon. I'd love to know just what it is.
