Some Recent Foreign Coin Buys...

[boristhespider88]

I haven't been doing much CHRing lately since I've been busy with school and my mom, so I've been stuck with looking for deals on eBay. I found a guy that had a bunch of coins for a reasonable price and a lot of foreign coins were included as well.

I know that some of these are silver (pretty sure, anyways) but I don't know the numismatic and/or melt value of them because the numbers I've found online are all over the place:

Here are the others. I'm not sure if they have any value.

Sag: That's a lot of research; thanks.
Boris: Sivler melt values will fluctuate by the minute; that's why (in some of your searches) the values are 'all over the place'.

Thank you Sag! I was hoping the older coins would be worth more than that, but I'm happy none-the-less. Why is the 1946 20 centavos worth more than the others? Mintage numbers or something?

I figured that to be the case on the silver ones, but some of the other values I couldn't really pinpoint. Like the 1962 un peso; I had a bunch of sites saying it was silver and I saw a few that were saying it wasn't silver.

Boris,
Each of the 20 centavos pieces mentioned above had mintages that exceeded 25 million--so 'rarity' is not a reason for the bump in value "Sag" mentioned. Perhaps he saw better condition in that particular 20 centavos to give it a higher value.

It has a lower mintage, plus it is in better condition than the other ones. The mintage is still just over 25 mil., so it is not a huge value difference, the main reason for the higher value is condition.

Thanks guys for the clarification!
