The most valuable coin here is probably the square Dutch one - it looks like a more scarce Curacao issue. Everything else is quite common.

Maybe $2 or $3, but that's a big improvement on most "bulk" world coins that get sold for 5/$1 or less.

I was very fortunate to be looking through dealer's junk boxes in the period 1990 to 2005.
During this time, the spot silver price was of little interest to most people, at around $5 per ounce.
Like most the silver price was of little interest to me as well; I just collected interesting coins for what I thought was bargain price.

I have to admit, I DID have a tendency to look for silver coins as the silver price rose after 2005, but for the most part I stopped looking for silver coins when the silver price rose above $10 per ounce. Easier to find numismatic bargains elsewhere, so I thought.

As some may agree with me: "the fun is in the hunt".

These days, I STILL look through dealer's junk boxes, but silver coins are far and few between. Nevertheless I still go hunting for unusual coins (usually very old ones) that interest me.

It's good to buy a coin that cannot be easily identified, take it home and do a real good search for the type. Such a search is now made much easier by posting pictures here in the CCF and asking for comments. SOMEONE here in the CCF will know what you have got!
For my part, I also have quite a reasonable numismatic library that covers most areas of coinage, to help me.

Dealer's junk boxes can be as much fun as they used to be, without the silver.
