I would only say that it would be preferable if you posted them all in separate threads, rather than in a single huge thread. It's less confusing that way, and threads in which the coins are identified can then be moved to the correct place.

Would like to see what you have so post away. One or two coins at at time makes it easier to ID.

I split your next batch of pics into a new thread. You should get better responses.
