That is a very high grade coin, free from contact marks, fully struck, and with lots of lustre. Coins, especially ones intended for circulation, get increasingly scarcer as they grade MS-65 and higher, so value increases.
Yours isn't one of them.

From that article: "Price differentials attest to the scarcity of the MS-68s. Whereas three of these have fetched R100,000 apiece, the relatively common MS-65 routinely retails for R750, about $75."
So a price/value difference in grade/quality/condition between MS-65 to MS-68 might be almost R100,000. Only 3 of the 5 million minted are at that quality. Hard to tell from the photo, but the example above likely wouldn't make it up to quality/grade MS-65, and almost certainly (3/5,000,000 chance) not to MS-68. So it probably is not a $10,000 coin.
In real estate, it's "location, location, location." In numismatics, it's "condition, condition, condition."

CHD: Could be worse, my old junior high school has forty computers connected to one modem in the computer lab (and another few dozen laptops on wifi). When everyone is trying to open Google at the same time, it could take up to 5 minutes to load. Here at home, there's usually 4-5 devices using the internet at any time, which sort of explains it.

Visit almost any coin shop and you will be able to purchase a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins that will help you get more detailed information about most of the coins you are showing. Sometimes you can get one that is a few years old for less than $20 which won't make much difference at all as far as the prices are concerned.
You have a few that are pre-Modern, but that book would help you with identification and approximate value of most of what you showed.
Also, you can take those coins into that coin shop at the same time and if it's a good store someone might take the time to help you further with those details.
SlurExe97 already did a fantastic job of giving you some good basic and specific information.

Thank you! If I were to sell this entire collection, how much could I expect from it?

The British coins are not worth much. You would be lucky to make a couple of pounds from a dealer. Even the Churchill crown is of no great value. The other coins I cannot say.

Ok, thank you.
Does anyone else know about the other coins?

16) Russian kopek 1704 - 1718, Maybe 1712 .B.K. - * *, but hard to tell from the photos, they har not that common in "ok" condition and depending on the mintmark they can be scarce.
But as Petrus pointed out, replicas does exist.

One of my dealers would be practically giving most of these away out of the junk foreign box. I've gotten Farthings, Half Pennies, Pennies, and yes, two Churchill Crowns all gratis. Unfortunately, with the exception of a couple that are silver, I wouldn't expect much at all.
