Ok the piece actually has some decent color to it. I simply cannot capture it.
I agree that the Mexican looks genuine, and both it and the Canadian 5c are silver, as probably mentioned.
The British penny is in too low a grade to be worth much monetarily as-is, but as ormandh said, it's fun for a pocket piece or a lowball collection. There a lot of those "Slick Vics" out there. They circulated until the late 1960s. What is neat about them is that the date was in a recessed area and protected from wear, which is the opposite of a lot of Canadian coins and US pieces like the Buffalo nickels and Standing Liberty quarters, which had their dates on the highest point of the coin, where it usually wore off. "Slick Vics" are fun because even the smoothest and slickest ones still often have a readable date. (I've got one or two that were too slick even for that, though!)
