(The 1798 goldie is lovely. WAY outta my league, unless I get lucky and dig one one of these days.)
The cent is a GM Roller Press Cent. I always thought they were way cool although its not a mint product. Here's ANR's write up which is a good one:
(Circa mid-to-late 1960s) pattern cent. J-unlisted, P-4060. Rarity-5. Control 5L. MS-63 RB (ANACS).
Copper. Plain edge. Fanciful unadorned bust of Liberty to left (nonsensical legends around), 5 hand-engraved before bust, L hand-engraved behind bust, reverse with scanty wreath, legends numerals and random letters on five lines within. Highly lustrous medium red with warmer highlights on the high points. A fairly scarce and popular pattern made on the General Motors roller presses. These items were struck by General Motors at their Technical Center in Warren, Michigan to test a new form of coin press. Dies for this press were made at the Mint using fantasy legends, as the Mint was loathe to release actual dies to an outside source. As the uspatterns.com website notes, "the coins, struck in copper, had control numbers and control codes L,M, or R, on them signifying left, middle, or right, suggesting that the roller-press die were mounted in rows of three." As succinctly noted later in the text, this style press currently failed to meet expectations. An attractive example of a scarce issue.
