Help Valuing Particular Coins

Hello, I have the following coins that I'd like to recieve a list value for:

Australia Penny 1939 and 1927 both coins are F-VF condition and a coin that I'm unable to identify, it says on the obverse "Diez Gramos" at the top with a lady liberty figure sitting below it, and further below that is the date 1870. The reverse reads "Cien Piezas en Kilog" with a lion figure holding a shield below that and the words "Diez Centimos." Just above that is a small letter "om." I'm guessing it's Argentinian but I'm not sure. It's in VG condition. These are for a family friend who's just wondering if they should put them up on eBay or hang on to them. Thanks!

    According to Krause, the '27 penny is around $3, the '39 around $1. There aren't any mintmarks to watch out for in either year. I could tell you what the local catalogues down here say about them, but it probably wouldn't mean much to you.

    Your mystery 1870 "lion with shield" is Spanish, from the Provisional Republic of 1868-1871. CV $2 in Fine.
