Spot silver value today is $4.33 (per quarter, not per ounce). To be worth more to a collector, it would have to be uncirculated (shiney and in a protected holder). In our town, the coin place will buy any silver or gold at the spot value.
Not sure where else to go. Ebay and other online sites have knocked the props out of most of the collector type coin shops in our area. Maybe look for a coin collection event? Or a flea market/rummage sale?
I shall have to look up postage rates from here to other places. Then I might.
I’m in the UK - and I’ll be interested in mixed random bags of these coins if the price is reasonable. Which charity is this raising funds for? - I might also be interested even if the price isn’t reasonable.

We do have coinstar machines here in the UK, but of course they’ll reject everything on that list, as they’re configured for Sterling.

That is all.
I’ll take the NUM badge and mining token - PM me what you want for them.
If there are enough of them, dig out a good mixture of small-sized ones, drill tiny holes in them, and make them into charm bracelets with about 10-12 coins on each one. Offer them on Ebay.
In my vocabulary “do something with them” includes the option “throw them away”.
Problem solved!
These are almost certainly from Thailand and not Cambodia.
This.
He’d have to buy a membership. Guests aren’t allowed to sell stuff in the Marketplace.
Indeed, the “studious young man” would be the Thai king. I suspect you have one-, five- and 10-baht coins. Those all have various temples on the reverse (but not Angkor Wat). So does the two-baht coin, but that one’s pretty new.
