Answer 1

I recently subscribed to a coin magazine, for one year, really cheap.  It comes out every other month and has lists of coins and their values, based on condition, rarity, and availability.  It has been very useful to get values.  You might want to try it.  It's easier than hunting websites.

Answer 2

All of these coins are ones that are usually in dealer's junk boxes for sale for 25 cents or less, except for the Canadian silver dollars which contain 0.300 oz of silver each, which are worth about $5 each.  The 2 items that you can't identify are not coins.  A "cob" coin does not say "cob" on it.  Things with writing and multiple dates are rarely coins.  I personally find both of these items more interesting and would buy them out of a dealer's 25 cent junk box.  I might even pay $1 for the english and french one.

Answer 3

These things are only worth what someone is prepared to pay at the time of sale.  Now, the thing to do is to get them infront of as many people as possible who might want to buy them.

I find the best way to value things is to look for identical offerings on ebay and other sale sites.

Many serious collectors want to handle and look closely before buing anyway - it's too easy top get ripped off otherwise.
