Photos below

I see some silvers in the third photo - the 2 1/2 Escudos is .6400 I think, the NZ six pence is either .500 or .925, and the George V pieces look like silver quarters. The Swiss Franc is worth more than a dollar a piece, so those are good just for face value. I also see what seems to be a British Pound. Some things are hard to say without seeing both sides.

Threr's a 1968 Ca .25 either .800 or .500

6th row, Bolivia might be silver.

Flip-em over dude!

Nah that is a modern Venezuelan

None of the UK cicrulation coins post 1947 have silver; the silver coloured ones are cupro-nickel so may still be worth saving.

In pic one there is a silver coloured coin marked 1969 with the Queen on it - is it a 2 shilling? Probs worth $5 or so.

Any of the bronze copper coloured UK coins pre: 1991 are worth holding for their copper content of 97%.

Pic 3 does indeed show a one pound coin in the bottom row, this is still valid, so is worth a whole pound!

Quick fact: 1 in 40 British pound coins is counterfeit.

The New Zealand 6 Pence is NOT .500 fine silver.From 1947,the coins were cupro-nickel.

Take a magnet to the 1968 Canadian .25, if it sticks to the magnet its not silver...if it doesn't stick, its silver...either .500 or .800.
