The second picture of course is a privately issued 1 oz. gold ingot, not a coin. In the third picture the aluminum coin with a "1" near the lower right corner is Israeli. The one it is resting on is from Great Britain and there's a Canadian cent up in the top left corner. The bottom picture is a copper coin from Great Britain and depending on its size may be a penny, half-penny, or something else.
the first coin you have -- i'm assuming your first two pics are of the same coin, and that you don't have two of them -- is supposed to be a new england pine tree twelve pence or shilling. see link: http://www.coinfacts.com/colonial_c.../pine_tree_silver/pine_tree_silver_coins.html these are remarkably rare, and what's more, the style of your coin seems "off," and it seems remarkably crisp and fresh for such an old coin. i'm pretty sure you have a modern reproduction. a reproduction of a very cool coin, though, with a very cool history. v.
