Eye-dentify these US coins

Can you identify each of these US coins? I found a couple of them were pretty tough to ID and I’m the one that took the pictures. There is no prize (other than bragging rights), it is just for fun.

Very best regards

Hello byrd,
You missed #3 but the Jefferson nickel is in the mix.

Absolutely correct about the Ike & Jefferson.

All the coins depicted are regular circulation coinage except for one which is a commemorative.
