The German States coin DL20K couldn't identify is a 1/4 stuber from the county of Wied-Runkel Craig#3. The GW-monogram stands for "grafschaft Wied" (county of Wied) and not for the ruler, who was at that time count Johann Ludwig Adolph.

The first of the first batch is a 7.6 soldi from the kingdom of Sardinia (Craig#82), struck in the name of king Carlo Emanuele IV.
I don't recognise any of the 2 others.
The 2nd of the second batch is a French coin in the name of Louis XVI, struck during the Ancien Regime, before the French Revolution. I cannot make out whether it is a liard, a 1/2 sol or a sol.
I don't recognise the first of these 3 coins. The third one is a 4 pfennig from the Archbishopric of Trier (KM#259).

The second coin of the first batch is also a French coin: a 6 deniers in the name of Louis XIV, the Sun King. This coin was struck from 1710 to 1712. I think I recognize the mintmark & for Aix, which makes it KM#400.3

Hi Gforce, I'll try to identify some, but I think it would be better you start a new thread every time you post one or two new batches, otherwise it can be difficult to put identifications to the right coins.

first batch:
1) Argentina provincial coinage Buenos Ayres 1 decimo
2) seems a Russian polushka (1/4 kopek) to me
3) China/Empire provincial coinage, province of Kwang-tung 10 cash, early 20th century
4) France, liard in the name of Louis XVI, Ancien Regime
5) Portugal, probably a 5 reis. I cannot make out in the name of which ruler it has been struck (IOSEPHUS I ?, MARIA I ?)

Second:
1. Poland 3 grosze - Stanislaus Augustus (date in upper left of the side with the arms.. last possible date is 1795)
2. Austria/Hungary half Kreuzer - Maria Theresa
3. Russia 1 kopek 1800 - Tsar Paul
Edit.. the sixth one is interesting. Is this a Russian 2 (?) kopek overstruck on some foreign coin? The EM that you can see is the mintmark here.

second batch:
1) ?
2) Austria 1/2 kreuzer KM#1985 no date, but struck in 1760, bust of empress Maria Theresia
3) Russia 1 kopek, with monogram of czar Paul I
4) German States: Hesse-Cassel, 1 or 2 heller coin, monogram of landgrave Wilhelm VIII
5) Prince-bishopric of Liege (nowadays in Belgium): liard in the name of prince-bishop John Theodore of Bavaria
6) Russia, I suppose a 2 kopeks. I also have the impression I can see the figure of Marianne, a symbol of the French Revolution.

Thank you for the help guys, I made another thread with the last 18 coins. Do you think it was a good deal 5 dollars for these 40 coins, I know they are hard to ID.

Those 40 coins for only 5 dollars! Be assured this is a good deal. I know they are in a bad shape and some of them are difficult to identify, but they are all amazing witnesses of history! You have coins of some countries which don't exist anymore as independent entities (German States, prince-bishopry of Liege) and also some pre-French Revolution coins. You'll have a great job just by searching the history of some of those countries your coins come from. Enjoy!

If I don't miss my guess the #1 coin in the second batch of 6 appears to be a Massachusetts 1/2 d colonial. Might be worth moving it to that forum.
