Looks good, however, i would suggest that you go to the following Numista links and carefully compare the coins in hand with the coins on the website. The pictures on Numista are very good.
The coins look o.k., but it would help others to evaluate your stuff if 1) you could significantly crop your photographs, and 2) if you could weigh your coins in grams.
These were the workhorse coins in a society that still used a lot of gold (especially under Napoleon III). They are common. Unless you come across a rare date and Mint mark, they trade @ melt. Each contains 0.186 Troy ounce AGW if near new and undamaged.
The pieces seem a bit dirty and perhaps they were buried and/ or dug up by a dectectorist recently? Don't clean them harshly, water and soft cotton probably.

Better not to clean them at all.

Probably so, there's not much premium in them regardless.
