Thanks . need more help on the George III one

one side says GEORGE III DEI GRATIA and is a large size coin if this helps

I think it may be be some kind of Guinea as these all have DEI GRATIA to reverse???

Pretty certain this is A Half shilling 1819.

Should I clean to check it is a silver one and not a copy?

The first coin is a Charles II 1672 farthing (or halfpenny). Can't tell from the size, but odds are its a farthing.

The second is a late William III halfpenny, 1699-1701 - can't make out the date.

The third is a counterfeit George III halfcrown, made in brass and then silver washed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. Any value whatsoever they are at least old coins?

Well, only a little. The Charles farthing would raise £3 - £4 - although it's in poor condition, it at least has the date readable and more or less readable legend.

It's barely possible to make out the details on the William III - your only hope would be if it turned out to be an extremely rare variety (usually a lettering error - but as I can make out "GVLIELMVS TERTIVS" that's very unlikely). A pound or two to a collector, no more.

The George III has only interest value.

Worth keeping for interest I'd say - my own numismatic career was sparked by a similar Charles farthing I got from a junk shop when I was still at school !
