Currency guy needs help with coins...

Someone gave me most of these coins. The 1875 Dormans Stencil & Stamp Works 19 German St. Baltimore coin I found. What is it or what was it used for and is it worth anything? The scan of the back is the way the coin was struck. It doesn't match up with the face. It's rotated 1/8 of the way around. Also the 1895 MagyarKiralyi Valtopenz, is it worth anything and where's it from?

The 4 penny's with the stamps were one's I found. I just posted them to see if anyone else has any and maybe get an answer to why someone does this?

Thanks Tom

    The cents are novelties. The Mexican pesos are not worth much.

    The John F.W. Dormans token is cool. Mr. Dormans was a actor, a Sutler, and was confined in the Confederates Libby Prison. Maybe worth $7-$10

    The stamped novelty cents were given out for many reasons, advertising or just given out. I have the same bicentennial design cent and the Kennedy is probably the most common of all, most are 1963-1973 dates.

    Some of the Lincoln/Kennedy cents came glued to a fact card, I have one that somebody gave me and it says:

    Lincoln was elected in 1860
    Kennedy was elected in 1960
    Both have 7 letters in their names
    Both were shot on Fridays.
    Both were shot in presence of their wife.
    Both focused their work on civil rights.
    Both had their elections contested in court.

    Kennedy had secretary named Lincoln that warned him not to go to Dallas where he was shot.
    Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy warned him not to go to the theater where he was shot.

    In both cases the next president/successor was named Johnson (Andrew Johnson then Lyndon Johnson)
    Both names had 13 letters.
    Both were southern democrats.
    Lyndon was born in 1908.
    Andrew was born in 1808.

    Booth was a southerner favoring unpopular ideas.
    Oswald was a southerner favoring unpopular ideas.

    Oswald shot kennedy from a book depository/warehouse then hid in a theater.
    Booth shot Lincoln in a theater then hid in a warehouse.

    Booth was murdered before his trial.
    Oswald was murdered before his trial.

    Booth and Oswald were born almost 100 years apart.
    Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth each had 15 letters in their names.

    Lincoln and Kennedys bodies were both carried in the same caisson.

    The 1895 Hungarian 2 Filler and the Mexican 1906 5¢ might go 25¢ each.
    The other Mexican stuff is 7 for a dollar in a junk box.
    The Post Civil War era store card is the only thing of any value, and I don't know the rarity of this particular type.
    It would sell for at least $5 though.
