Answer
Hello John,  

I cannot answer accurately for these foreign coins they are not my field. The only US coin like this was the 1943 copper cent. This is a British or Canadain coin.

Most of them are common and contain no precious metal. Your library will have them listed in "Catalog of World Coins".

Sorry I could not be more help but I know another expert in this category at this site who can answer you.
