OK then, I'll give you the values for Fine condition, the lowest grade the catalogue gives. Some denominations haven't been worked out yet; we need to know the size. I've given approximate size comparisons with US/Canadian coins:

Great Britain 1 penny 1907: 50¢.

France 10 centimes 1900: $1.

Belgium: we never did work out the denomination of this one. The denomination number should be to the left of the shield on the "fait la force" side. Here are the possible values for the French-legend silvers dated 1866:
50 centimes (about dime-sized): $2,
1 franc (a bit smaller than a quarter): $2,
2 francs (a bit bigger than a quarter): $7,
5 francs (dollar-sized): 3 varieties from $110 up to $400.

Imperial France: never quite narrowed down the denomination on this one, either. The denomination should be written out, in French, under the eagle. Options for coppers dated 1855B(dog) are:
1 (UN) centime (tiny - smaller than a dime): $10,
2 (DEUX) centimes (about 1¢ sized): $1.50,
5 (CINQ) centimes (about quarter-sized): $2,
10 (DIX) centimes (same size as coin #2): $3.

In post #6 you also mentioned a British 2 new pence 1975. CV on that one in Extremely Fine is 15¢.

Hope this helps. . If you have any other questions about identifying these further, please ask away.

Oh,I'm sure there is not much difference but the Great Brittain penny is a 1906.I assume the 1866 is 2 francs,as it is a bit bigger than a quarter.:) sn31.

Whups, sorry about that. Where did I get 1907 from? Maybe I need more sleep before I start posting...

You're correct though, not much difference in price - still 50¢ in Fine.
