    Two two top coins are 8 reales from Mexico, the first is from the Guadalajara mint, the second from the Guanajuato mint. They are both silver. Again, the lighting makes the toning look strange to me, as with the others you should weigh them.

    The third coin is a 1 ore from sweden. It is bronze. According to Krause it might be worth $50 in that condition.

    Lighting

    I am color blind to some extent but the color looks true to me. I use a regular desk light with a bulb. These were in a box for many,many yrs maybe they picked up tone from the box..

    For these cap and rays reales and for the portrait reales you showed earlier, it would help to weigh them and show a picture of the edges (the latter for the portait reales) as Toad suggested. These coins are a bit pricy and often faked, so it is good to have plenty of information. The 1841 cap and rays you show here would be over $100 if real, the 1833 a bit less. Both prices are estimates from Krause. A useful place to look up auction results for Spanish Colonial and Mexican coinage is at Heritage Auctions. You need to sign up to use the archives but it is free.
