The top coin is a Bolivian 4 Reale - a harder denomonation and it is REAL.
The next 2 are actually from Peru - the 1780 looks like assayer initials MI - a scarce variety - REAL
The 1802 is a scarce date and would be worth in excess of $50 without the hole and is still collectable with the hole. Probably in the $20 range. Planchet also has some delamination issues. Also a REAL coin.
The Next is an 1813 Bolivian 2R - the coin appears to be real and possibly an unlisted overdate. Should be closely examined by a specialist.
The next four are Bolivian One Reale coins all appear real - the coins of Charles IIII are all fairly scarce and could be of interest to date collectors. The Charles III is common but the Chinese chop marks are VERY interestering. That one mught bring bids from chop collectors.
The coin dated 1829 is actually a Bolivian medal a Proclaimation Piece - these are ALWAYS pierced - copies without holes are rather rare. It is high grade and should bring over $35. I do not have a reference for Bolivian proclaimation coins so it could be far scarcer.
The next one is a 1/2 reale "cob" 1787 Bolivian with a trace of the King's monogram. It is pretty worn and for that reason I can not tell if it is real. These were rather crude. With the clear date it might be worth roughly $10.
The final two are quarter real coins - common types both apparently real.
All should bring at least melt - some like the medal would be CRIMINAL to melt.
