The pictures, hopefully, are clear enough.
I appreciate anything you can do to help identify these 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8mm coins. They all look like silver. The pictures came across much larger than on my computer. Hope the size makes it easier for those experienced.

Hopefully the pictures are all in order. It always helps to number them, or maybe to start new threads for each coin so nobody gets confused. But it's safe to say they're all "German States" coins from the 1600s.
Coin #1 (pics 1 and 2): Archbishopric of Cologne, silver 8 heller I believe, of bishop Maximilian Henry of Bavaria, circa 1681-1688. Something like this coin: https://en.numista.com/115549
Coin#2 (pics 3 and 4): a very interesting little piece from the Abbey of Essen, 1/120th taler of Abbess Anne Salome I (1671-1672). Numista: https://en.numista.com/30348
Coin #3 (pics 5 and 6): A little tricky to read but I think it's City of Dortmund, 6 pfenning, circa 1658-1688. https://en.numista.com/454196
Coin #4 (pics 7 and 8): I think it's another of those Cologne coins, similar to #1.
Coin #5 (pics 9 and 10): the top pic's a little blurry, but I believe it's from the Duchy of Julich-Berg, 8 heller 1677. Unlike the previous coins, this one has a clear date on it but the side witht he date is the blurry one so it's hard to read. https://en.numista.com/87006
Coin #6 (pics 11 and 12): another 8 heller from Cologne, this one under an un-named bishop but attributed to the early 1600s. It also has a date but I can't see it clearly on your coin; perhaps 1605? https://en.numista.com/550446

Apparently I have been awarded the DPOTD twice.
Thank you so much. I very much appreciate your expertise. I see it all of the time in numerous threads.
Appreciate the links to Numista, too.
What are your collecting interests? I might have something lying around.
