First off to the CCF
Second, that's a lot to take in at once. Best to post your coins, in the proper forum. One at a time. And ask any questions you may have.
Ps I like what I can see

A lot of interesting coins, yes. Too many here to weigh-in in a constructive manner. I'd love to stumble into something like that myself.

There are some nice coins there. First picture, 1st coin in 2nd row is a French ecu by Louis XIV. Should be worth a couple of hundred dollars.

That's an awesome collection!

Let's be realistic guys, there's no need to post a thread for every single coin.

What are your plans with these?

Very nice collection, with a lot of variety and many large silver coins in nice condition. I see that many of the coins are in plastic flips. If these are the regular, flexible, PVC-containing flips, you should get rid of the flips and transfer the coins to cardboard/Mylar 2x2 holders or other archival quality holders. Regular flexible plastic flips will leave greenish PVC residue on the coin surfaces over time, which can cause corrosion. They are not suitable for long-term storage. There are archival quality flips without PVC but these are very rigid and brittle. I recommend checking the coins stored in flips for a greenish film of PVC residue, and if it's present rinsing it off with acetone and allowing the coins to air dry, then putting in better holders.

I hope you find the answers you need here.

I agree with Seeker55 comments. In particular the very high grade coins from Israel are already showing the green tint that marks PVC. You need to get these into better storage.

The range of values here is significant from a few cents to possibly hundreds of dollars each. The coins appear on first glace to be mostly genuine.

The bulk of the potential value is contained in the first 7 pages. Many of those are silver. There are also perhaps a dozen coins that are quite common as Numismatic Forgeries and need to be weighed and compared to standard as a starting point.

On sheet one for instance:

Sheet 1 Top Row far right is a 1843 US silver dollar - more often than not these are fakes.
Same sheet Row 3 down has three coins at the left side that are Russian and far mor common as fakes. The one at the right end from the Vatican is worth enough so that it needs it's own topic.
The 4th row has 3 coins that should be examined individually but the second from the left is essentially a bullion coin. The other three are low grades but still potentially good.
The 5th row begins at the left with a Mexican 1760 Pillar dollar. Several very common forgeries that specific date exist and your chances of having a genuine one are low. The second coin from Potosi Bolivia is more likely genuine. Tehe Greek and Iranian silver coins are worn so likely bullion or near bullion issues.

If you can find envelopes that do not contain Sulphur in the paper move all of the first 7 sheets to those as a starting step. This allows easy access for taking pictures and notes can be written on the outside of the envelopes.

Proceed slowly learn about what you have before you decide on what to do with the accumulation.

Good luck.
