A couple of flea market newps ... grade opinions?

Checked out a not-so-local flea market last weekend and picked up coins from a comics and trading cards guy. I noticed that he had some silver canadian dollars in his case, so I asked him if he had any other coins. After about 10 minutes of shifting boxes around he produced one of those red, oblong, 2X2 cases with about 20-or-so old coin envelopes. Most, for some odd reason, were Mexico City Olympics commems, a few Soviet rubles and copecks (1960's-1980's) and some other, heavily toned, world coins.

Out of those I picked out the following toners:

1908 5 Mark (Germany,Wurtemberg)

1913 3 Mark (Germany)

1877 8 Reals (Mexico)

1950 5 Pesos (Mexico, Railroad)

1797 Kronenthaler (Austrian Netherlands)

Also 2 more Mexico City Mint 8Reals (1892, 1894) and an Australian penny (1943, toned).

How'd I do image ?
