Spanish 'cob' coins; probably all 8-reales and .916 fine silver.
Third coin down is from Mexico city mint.
First and fifth coin shown are not from Mexico City mint.
 

First might be a 1617's Potosi assayer M. Last coin has some reversed fields. This may help identify it. Probably Potosi 1621 assayer T.

Somebody is awake! Good catch CS. Have to look this one up a little later.

Yeah I wouldn't mind owning the third one, it has to be pretty scarce.

Found it. 1621-1628 Potosi Assayer "P" (you can see the bottom half of the assayer initial). The top of Page 285 in Menzel's book shows what he calls a Type 1d with switched fields on the shield and reverse castles and lions, just like the one Jerome posted. It also has the "V" cutting into the border on the right side of the shield, so it may have even been struck with the same die set. I wouldn't mind having it in my collection either!

Thinks for the informations.
May I have the value of these coins ?
 

I will do some checking on the coin with reversed features.
