World gold question

I picked up some world gold coins and I was wondering if they had any value beyond their metal content. I have looked each one up in the Standard Catalog, but the prices were obviously way off (based on melt value alone). I have determined a melt value based on the gold content. Also, a couple have low mintages (based on my perception from the US coin side), but I did not find enough sales info to determine if the lower mintage translated into a better value. These are the coins in question:

Also, I am not great at grading gold.

Russia 1897 15 Roubles (65.1) - probably xf40-45ish
Russia 1900 10 Roubles - AU50-55
Germany (Prussia) 1872 10 Marks Unc
Germany (Prussia) 1890 10 Marks VF25-30
Denmark 1916 20 Kroner Au58-60
Great Britain 1904 Sovereign - Perth Mint
Peru 1901 Una Libra Unc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edited to add that both German coins are Prussian, thanks for the heads up.

    Based on recent upticks in interests on Russian coins they will trade at a premium above spot. The German coins need to be further attributed to the Duchy, Principality, Kingdom or Free City that issued them - some are rare whilst Prussian coins are fairly common.
