That Norway 1 Ore looks to be in great shape. It's hard to go wrong at 10 cents a coin but I'd say you did very well.
I like the reverses. My only gripe is that having the flag on the obverse of the 1 rand breaks continuity. It would make more sense to have it on...

I think it'd be cool if we quit making the penny for circulation and instead minted it in bronze for collectors, similar to the half and dollar....
If it's 9.1g it has to be a penny planchet.
That's a 5 Quetzales from Guatemala from sometime between 1990 and present-day.
I've gotten a few of my trademark 'common type, not-so-common date' coins recently: Botswana - 1989 1 Thebe [ATTACH] [ATTACH] If you collect...
If I was grading it for my personal collection I think I'd probably call it XF. I think a TPG would put it around 50 or 53.
