Hey everyone! So I have a lot of coins and was wondering if you guys know anything about them. First coin is a french coin from 1905. Looks like the die was slightly off center.

The next one is a 1979 Susan B Anthony coin which looks like its a wide rim? The one on the right is wider compared to the one on the left. I have A LOT of the ones that look exactly like the one on the right where the rim is a lot wider than others.

I also have a lot of circulated 2000 p Sacagawea coins and a roll of US mint ones as well.

Are any of these coins worth anything?

The first is a Piastre from French Indochina. Roughly Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos back in the day under French control.
Wikipedia Link here.

Link to your specific coin here.

Thanks for the help guys! So the SBA is not a near date? Why are some of the rims bigger than others? What causes that?

The Indo-China coin doesn't look right. Can you provide better focus images around the rims?
For what is visible, it resembles present day fakes from China.
The obverse denticles appear somewhat fat and orderly, but the reverse denticles appear irregular in spacing and shape.
That is one often seen indication of fakes. A report of weight and any testing to see if it is genuine silver wold be in order.

I'm getting the coin tested probably Friday so we'll find out more then. Hopefully it's not fake but if it is I won't be to mad. I don't even remember where I got it.

It looks legit to me, but my powers of observation are not as keen as some others. It is a low value coin, so I suspect it is legit, but you never know.
