Not an easy reply to make. At some flea markets I've seen piles of foreign coins in bins for practically nothing. Then too at some coin shows they sell for a lot. Almost would have to know what each is worth to make any deal.

A little hard to tell what all the coins are.
For what I see I would pay their silver price.
What I can see is
Canada
Half Dollar .3 oz of silver - 1967 and older
Quarter .15 oz of silver - 1966 and older
Dime .06 of silver - 1966 and older
A couple of the other coins might be silver, but I am not
sure what they are. Picture does not show enough detail
for me to identify them all.
But for the none silver coins I might add a dollar to
the final offer.

The coin with the square hole is a Qing Dynasty Guang Xu Tong Bao. Very common and worth a dollar or so.

There are some interesting coins there, but nothing particularly rare from what I can see. If they were offered to me, I would probably offer the silver value plus another dollar for the remaining items. Same as GR58.

I see at least eight interesting coins...
- 2 from the British Mandate of Palestine. These are uncommon and are almost always worth a few bucks (or more) each.
- 2 semi-modern Chinese coins. When the 1900s rolled in China basically collapsed into a pile of warring factions, as it is occasionally wont to do, so there are a lot of different types of these. In my experience these are uncommon and the more you can find out about them the better it gets.
- 2 Iranian/Persian coins. The grey one could be silver... or it could be copper-nickel. The earlier dates of these are worthwhile, later dates are very common, but the date side is facing down in your photos so who knows.
- A silver British six-pence, probably with George V on it. These are common as dirt but still .500 silver.
- Some kind of token with lots of words on it? It looks damaged but still interesting.
So there are a few items here worth a few bucks each. The rest of the world stuff is common.

Thank you so much for the input. I'm sorry for putting all the coins in one photo. I'll try to take photos of each coin for a closer view.
Thanks
