Got alot of coins thru trade and collect. Trying to get an idea of value

I think most members here would agree that you are a lucky fellow. Having fun discovering different coins and something about them is the fun part, at least to me.
I might also post this again:
For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.

Oh, and Welcome to Coin Talk. Looking forward to many posts on your finds.

 

@robec . Lol I asked her y they would accept that money too. Then she told me her husband use to clean out these fountains in palm florida at a shopping mall or something Some of the other coins look like they were especially the pennies. The pics I posted I don't believe were in a fountain because they look really good and I haven't clean them or anything. Which STILL doesn't make since y in the world u would take a British half penny for a fried chicken sandwich in South Florida

 

@Mountain Man ok I will. I'm getting pizza and going home to play. Thanks it is fun

 

Mr

 

This the first collection I got

 

Numista online has been a godsend for researching silver content, metal composition and reverse emblems/coat-of-arms/plants/birds etc. Right now I'm collecting coins for all Great Britain/United Kingdom Commonwealth of Nations, Territories, and Dependecies to go along with British and Welsh coins. Older coins when said countries were just colonies. Velly interestink!

 

I second that emotion on the 1/3 Thaler!

 

2nd collection

 

@Home doctor

Those collections are great fun. I'm actually jealous. Good for you.

 

Thank you I am having fun . I'm trying to dig these pennies out the pig she wants her bank back unscathed!!!lol

 

Sooner or later you hit a point and a lot of them start coming out easy. Then it gets difficult again. I’ve done this quite a few times with those pigs.

I almost fainted...

 

Unless collecting is your source of income and you consider this a job, take breaks when it gets overwhelming. The great thing about the hobby is that there are many sites to help you, and only 'a click away' on the computer. Used to be in the old days you would have to go to the libraries, attend shows and hit local the LCS (local coin shops) for info.
Now of course there is Coin Talk. The best place for like minded folk, and the best group of people I've found with a multitude of experience in all fields of the hobby to assist in your collecting journey.
Welcome to the group and keep us posted.

@Home doctor, the token with the inscription “For Kentucky Exposition Fund” and two male figures shaking hands is the reverse version of a token shown elsewhere in the post with the obverse showing a sailing ship with the inscription “Panama-Pacific International Exposition” at the upper perimeter and with “San Francisco 1915” below.

This token appears to be a So-Called Dollar (but non-monetary), as referenced in an illustrated standard catalog by Harold E. Hibler and Charles V. Kappen. My catalog reference is a revised and edited 2nd Edition. This So-Called Dollar is designated in the catalog H-K 410b (bronze). It is shown as rarity R-7 in the second edition catalog, indicating only 11 to 20 known pieces at that time. Obviously a number of pieces have been found since and a NGC AU-55 sold at auction for $300 in September 2018. Your example appears to be a much lower grade, with noticeable rim damage. It is difficult to assign a value based on the photos and not having it “in hand”.
It should be noted that it is difficult for me to verify that your example is bronze from the photos.

Although the original official strikes are of bronze, off metal (aluminum, white metal alloy, etc.) unofficial strikes sometime occur using the original dies.

Congrats on a very interesting collection.

 

1972 and 1971 so called chocolate.

 

Mmmmm good
