Sorry, man. I wasn't trying to pick on you. Go ahead and ask questions until you get a book. I was only trying to help you learn from my experience that getting a Krause will help you learn.

I will see what values I can find for you.

OK, here we go... Again, my book is a 2008, so some of these values may be low, but they shouldn't have changed to much.

Also, I went in order of top to bottom in the top picture. You changed the order from top to bottom, so I hope I didn't get mixed up by looking at the wrong picture. Any questions, let me know. Or maybe someone else will be along to fill in any holes I left.

Spain - 1998 - 25 pesetas - KM# 990 - 50c UNC
Canada - 1917 - 1 cent - KM#21 - 50-90c VG-VF
Belgium - 1991 - 1 franc - KM#171 - 35c UNC UNLESS it is a medal alignment...then it is worth $10in VF and up from there
Great Britain - 1885 - 1 penny - ? I only have 20th Century Krause
Canada - 1967 - 10 cents - KM#67 or KM67a - the difference is silver content. Not sure how to tell. Either way, it's only worth silver value
Canada - 1902 - 1 cent - KM#8 - $1.75 - 6.00 VG-XF
Great Britain - 1958 - 1 shilling - KM#904 - 25c-$3.00 F-XF
Great Britain - 1948 - 1 florin (2 shilling) - KM#865 - 20c-$1.00 F-XF
Ireland - 1974 - 5 pence - KM#22 - 10c XF
The guy in the mask - can't find him, can't read the coin - maybe Mexico?
Don't have a new enough book, but it's from Mexico. (pretty sure)

Oh yeah, I'm not going to try and grade the coins, since I don't know enough about grading to try it. So I gave you a range. When I didn't give a range, it's only because the book only gave an uncirculated value.

I'm getting tired, so if something I did doesn't make any sense, let me know!

Start with the coin in your hand, obverse right side up. Turn it over from left to right. If the reverse is upside-down, it is coin alignment. If the reverse is right-side-up, it's medal alingment. Make sense?

what schmidty said.. plus an easy way to remember medal alignment is that actual medals are usually hung by an attached pin or cord, so both sides are able to be read by just flipping over left to right.

In my book, the 1885 Penny's lowest grade and value given is $2 for Fine. If it's a half penny, the value is $1 in Fine.

YA! so since you don't have the 2010 book you cant tell the value of the (09 and 10-weirdest coin I've ever seen-2 separate dates on one coin ) 5 coin?

It looks like a brand new type of 5-peso coin from Mexico. The 1997-2009 don't have Senor Gutierrez on the coin - just the "$5" on that side. They are all listed with a value of $5 for BU, though, if that helps. You might want to give it a few months and check back, as they may have updated the values for these by then.

Just found an auction for one - "Buy it now" for $1.99: http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-Bimetallic...-5_W0QQitemZ170409379809QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27ad30c7e1
