The boz11,
Those are very nice,especially the Sierra Leone Company 1791 1 Cent coin.Early Sierra Leonean coins almost never seem to turn up.Whenever they do,it is the British Commonwealth collectors who are always looking for them.I haven't got any of the Sierra Leone Company's coins,but my earliest one is a 1 Penny trader's currency token that is dated 1807,but it was put into circulation in 1814.

That's an amazing German 1918D 1/2 Mark error coin that you've got there.Look at the die crack that goes from the base of the eagle & through the 'D' mintmark.

It's much more impressive in hand. My scanner does a good job on most coins, but not on really bright or lustrous pieces, or those with colorful toning. This one has both bright luster and a little bit of color, though the color is subtle.
PS- you have a sharp eye. Were I not the owner of the coin, I'd have overlooked those cracks in the picture, most likely. I'm not the most observant person at times.
