    Here's a bunch of foreign coins I had from my grandparents and my wife's side of the family. I deal in U.S. type coins and know NOTHING about this stuff. The first one looks silver, though. Any help with what it is or how much it's worth would be greatly appreciated.

    First one is a Mexican 1 Real. Its silver. 1807, minted in Mexico City. It has the king of Spain on the obverse Carolus IIII. Value in that shape $5.

    Most of them say on them what they are so I'll assume you can figure that out. the ones you might not know are the last two. The first is a Greek 2 drachmai, and the last is a Jordanian 25 fils. Many of the ones you show are silver, but most are just worth their silver value. All of the non-silver British coins have some value but not a lot, like they'd sell on eBay for a dollar or two apiece. The Greek and Jordanian aren't worth anything. The British 50 pence also isn't worth anything.

    Thanks for the help! The reale is about the size of a dime. So does that mean it's a quarter reale?

    The first coin is a one reale, originally eight to the dollar.
