Any ideas?
All countries info is appreciated.
if you have them of your coins(not from google)

I am guessing US coins would be 1817 cent(thats what the RedBook says, however they don't list any in the vales)

I know that in 1707, Great Britain minted a few proof 6 Pence, Shilling, and 1/2 Crown. But I'm not sure if they were the earliest world proofs...

I believe there were a few British proof pieces from the late 1600's. You have to consider that Proofs couldn't really exist before the introduction of milled coinage. That means you might find an earlier example in French coinage since I believe they introduced milled coinage before England.
