Keep it down to one coin per question.
The image should be only of the coin, no surroundings are needed at all
Give weight, diameter and thickness, please!
Personally I don't try to identify anything, if you don't stick to  these basics 0:)

I don't care if you post several coins in one post.
Makes it easier.
The middle one looks like an "mameita gin":

I have really no idea, I never had such a coin
I would rate it at least VF or higher, but I am not an expert.

This post makes me angry for some reason...

The bean money coin in the middle is a nice find, worth between 30-50 bucks, the right one is around 20-30. You can find both listed on Numista.

Yes between 30-50 because most of these had either too much wear since they were kept in bags of silver, or the era stamp is too worn

The value is what a buyer is willing to pay.
If you find someone that absolutely wants that coin for his collection, then the value can be high.
I would not sell it below $50-70.
Nice coin
