    Looks like someone filed them for an unknown reason,maybe for mounting into some type of jewelry.

    "Not one cent"?
    Don't remember your American Government quizzes?
    The XYZ affair (1797) was a dispute between the US and France.
    A quote from some bigwig at the time.

    Sorry. My apologies. I know nothing of Ireland except from the air, it looked like a wonderful green quilt I wanted to land on, but couldn't.
    As for the coins, any damage, unless they were made at minting and are errors take away from the value of a coin, I think. Those don't look like mint errors. There's always coin forums to get the scoop.

    Oh, and just look on the reverse (back) of your Barber coin to see the denomination.
