Fake or Real?

[Th3 Offspring]

I was digging at a 1917 house and found 18 memorial pennies, 4 wheaties (1950, 1950, 1941, 1952), and a couple of weird things. I need help identifying the last four pics, the middle two are of the same item, a pin that might be sliver, idk though. The last thing i believe is fake, but would like other opinions.

I think the 1792 is a replica the one with the face out is a button. Ice

The coin with the hole in the middle looks like a Chinese cash coin.

Afaik only Charles IV coins with the D.G. left of the bust are gold cois..and this coin looks it may have been gilded. So looks like a fake.

Here we go with the cash coins!

I'm still not sure I understand what is up with these...

I found one recently and my wife immediately identified it as an I Chich coin. Google it and you can see they sell them all over. I also see these coins on the forum often and they are identified as cash coins. Not sure how to tell the difference.

Thinking about it... I'm going to start a thread about these!

At any rate, those are some cool finds you are making! congrats!

That charles 4 coin (carol iiii) definitely looks fake. Gold doesn't corrode.

Moreover, this coin has a BIZARRE history of making an appearance, and they seem to be as common as dirt. Here's an interesting thread from 2003. Note the slew of "me toos", and the curious places they've been found!
