Nice finds! I would look into that 1859 Canadian cent. Their are a lot of different varieties like the wide 9, narrow 9 double punched type I, and a double punched 9 type II. Post a pic in the Canadian coin section of this forum and I'm sure someone will be able to tell you what variety you have.

I don't have time to check right now, but I would research and post that 1873 Newfoundland also.

Foreign Coins are not an easy thing to research...
The 1886 Colombian 5 Centavos is the Large 5 Top Version
the 1873 Newfoundland Penny had a Mintage of 200,000
the 1859 Canadian Seems to be the Normal 9 from what I've looked, no RPM or anything

Nice finds. At the coin bourse (not a show, no exhibits) I went to in Melville LI this past Sunday, a dealer had a 3/$1 foreeign coin pickout box. I passed it by. Next time I'm there I'll take a look. Things turn up.
