I think that one is Potossi but I'm at work and not 100%
The first one I don't think is Mexico City.
Edited to add:......Not bad for a junk drawer.

There are 4 edge varieties for this token:
349: Engrailed (Common)
349a: PAYABLE AT THE WAREHOUSE OF ROBERT REYNOLDS & CO (very rare)
349b: PAYABLE IN ANGLESEY LONDON OR LIVERPOOL (very rare)
349c: Plain (struck without a collar) (Common)
#6 is a bank token from the next great token period in English history. These appear in auctions quite frequently, usually not separated out from Mint issues. You should be able to find examples on eBay, Heritage or Stacks without any problems. They do come in several denominations and there are also Irish bank tokens.
