Need help with IDs

I bought an album full of old copper today. There are quite a few that I can't ID. Could anyone tell me what they are, their grade, and approximate value?


This coin is slightly smaller than a US quarter

This one is also slightly smaller than a US quarter

This one is the size of a US dime

This one is approx. the size of a US nickel

This one is about the size of a GB penny. One side is quite worn, but it looks like the date may be 1826 or 1828. I also think that there is a 5 near the top of the worn side.

Any help would be appreciated.

    I must have a box full of variants of number 4. No idea what the hell they are....

    Must have been a useful album... Good coins.

    No. 4 is a copper pice, KM#27, struck at the Banaras mint in the Bengal Presidency/ British India about 1815. It is in the name of Shah Alam II (1759-1806) Who in 1765 gave the East India company possessions in Bengal, Orissa and Bihar. This made the company nominally responsible to the Emperor (Shah Alam). There are many varieties of this strike.
