I don't know much about the ancients, but I can help with the modern stuff
sedro woolley lumber 10 cent token: Rarity rating of R-5, I'd value this at $1-2.00 due to the corrosion
The coin with the Beads is AH1321PA (~1903 AD) Morocco. (Need a diameter on this coin) This is a:
1/4 Rial (25mm Diameter) Silver .835 fine, .1678 ASW before the holes were drilled
-or-
1/2 Rial (32mm Diameter) Silver .835 fine, .3356 ASW before the holes were drilled.

Thanks for the info!
And if it helps anyone with the others, top one seems like silver to me, and the 2nd one looks like copper.

Thanks Kurr! That first one is cool. I have spent at least an hour trying to look these up and I thank you and verbane for the help. Now I need to do my research to see if that first one is authentic or not because if it is, it looks like it could be worth at least 100-200 bucks. Wow.
