I found this coin and can't find any info on it. It says 50C on it, 1893 and is from Mexico.

All 1893 gold coins are Peso denominations and Peso is spelled out. No 1893 50 Centavo coins were made. They were silver and centavos was spelled out. I have no idea what you have, it must be a medal or token of some kind. I would need a high quality scan or photo to try to figure out what it is.

They are certainly worth some real money. I can not tell you precisely what they are worth because it depends on such things as the dates, mint marks and condition of the coins; but here are some rough estimates $5.00 gold coin in average xf condition maybe $425-$450. $20 gold coin in average xf condition maybe $1700+. Gold coins are extremely popular at the moment and finding a buyer should not be a problem. A coin dealer will buy them from you but at about a 20% discount. He is out to make a profit. Wheat pennies are a little more difficult to give you a figure on. All are worth something but condition is even more important with them and whether they have a mint mark or not. They are also very popular with coin collectors because they are not extremely expensive. If you have dates in the 20s they might be worth at least 50 cents. Some much much more than that. 31-s at least $80. 1909 svdb is the king. Worth at least $700 and as much as thousands.
