The photos are pretty terrible. (Not my pictures, they're the seller's.)
So, do you see anything that might be worthwhile here?

I wish we could enlarge the pics easier,
but I like a challenge.

There's something "funny" about that Indian Head Cent.....
My uneducated GUESS based on the poor photos is that MAYBE the 1918 Buffalo is 2 feathers ???????????

It's a "special" collection of crap.
Looks like someone messed with the rims of the V nickel.
Looks like a die struck CC V Nickel.
If so, very cool!
Your going to be sorry you opened your mouth about this collection braddick! People are going to be all over it now!
No

My eye sight and the low quality photos make it impossible to be sure, but my WAG:
A 1914 D cent (somewhere in the Lincolns that appear to be from the teens); and
A 1918/7 (or is it 1917/8?) Buffalo nickel,
I have no clue, other than the date on buffalo nickel at the top right of the photo just hints to me that it may be the over date.
Well they are all sort of round

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
About $3.50 and possibly a botany lesson?
22 no mint mark cent? That was with a five second look so don’t roast me

I figure you already know the answer to your question Braddick!
How are you? )
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

What can it be?
Either the collection is rare and in mint state
or
the only coin from the 1800's is the Indian cent.
Everything is all right!
worn down, damaged, and from the pics - to me they appear to look fake

Is one of them a 1931-s Lincoln?
That (V) nickel is just too small to not be the one that stands out from all the rest.
The v nickel looks off.

1916 DDO nickel
We need better pics that are actually usable.

Braddick, it seems you may be trying to channel Insider.
Someone’s junk that might be someone else’s treasure?
Sorry but I just can't imagine a 1009-S.

My answer is no. Nothing special. Just like the fake SMS set my wife’s grandfather bought which had AU and BU coins pulled from circulation.

The undersize V nickel may be struck on a dime planchet OR it may have been machined down to be part of a magician's coin.
Is the 1918 nickel an 8/7? Closer examination is needed.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a ..............................
I see a 1919S Lincoln but if my eyes are deceiving me if it's a 1909S (either way) it's wort a few bucks).
Frankly, from those pictures, I see nothing.... Which does not mean there may not be some unique item(s) there.... I hesitate to hypothesize though ... we often accuse new collectors of 'seeing things' that are not there...Cheers, RickO
Poorly photographed parking lot finds?
The V-nickel is undersized, there is a small chance it was struck on a foreign or dime planchet, more likely it was cut down to dime size to fool a vending machine.
The Buffalo in the upper right is a 1916 but I cannot make out any markers to make me think it is the DDO.
Other than that, nothing struck my eye. I take a lot of fliers on lots like this on eBay, and frankly I probably would have flown right by this one without placing a bid.

It all looks cleaned to me🙄
if you are the buyer, you will have to show pics of the good stuff (when it shows up). If you did not win, at least tell us what it sold for.
I will be back later to see if there is an answer . . . . . . . .

I purchased using some of my eBay bucks. The total was $5.00
I will definitely show photos when they arrive (they shipped yesterday).

3 1/2 legs?
The small V nickel is the only thing I can see worth investigating further.
Nevermind. Need to clean my glasses.
What is it that you think you spotted?

The thrill of possibilities and endless dreams...

The Indianhead cent with the indent looks interesting. Hopefully they all arrive safely.
Well this thread is a waste of time.
Next time a newbie posts a parking lot find, remember hhow patient you all were on this thread.
