AT Lincoln cent: Anything particular about it?
1851 Half Cent: Reason why it is damaged the way it is?

The AT Lincoln looks like it is broadstruck.

The half cent was used as a gear. Just a guess.

The Lincoln cent looks indeed broadstruck, and the half cent looks like a special sort of a roman coin. Read an article about that once, will try to find it.

the half cent could be a gear or more likely, some kind of rolling crimper/design imprinter for pies and raviolis and such.

you've got a George III... what, shilling at the bottom? 1787?

the 1775 looks like a South American 1 real or half real?
