18ac. Huge work unit shortly got rid of boss(4) ?M?O. Umbo is a boss in a shield, but I don't get wordplay. 19d. Out-of -date coin found outside church,an Anglican one,accidentally(8). Assuming 'umbo' is correct, the letters I have are B?C?A?CE. Word wizard offers 'By Chance' or 'Bechance', but again I don't see the wordplay. Advice gratefully accepted so I can put it to sleep!

Obvious when explained! Thanks. Any suggestion for 'Bechance' or 'By Chance'?
19a BEAN is an obsolete word for a coin (giving rise to 'not a bean') and put that outside of CH [church], and followed by C.E.
