I don't recognize them either, but IMHO they look ancient and they look like they may come from Indo-Greek origins. But I really don't know as this is not my area of knowledge. Good luck with ID and welcome here.

if I find anymore about these coins I will post it. These coins seem to be ancient with some strange looking animals,maybe some black sea civilization.

I thought that a lot of lead coins turn white after a time.

I think I can almost see TH PH on one of the coins. Although I am not sure if these are really ancient, and if they are, maybe they are some kind of Celtic tribal coins. Interesting none- the - less.

The first coin in the second picture has a circle with a pin like object going through the center. I have seen this symbol on some roman coins does anyone know what that means? also the letters I see on the 2nd coin first picture look to be ACIDA with the boar below

The circle with the line through it vertical is the Greek letter Phi. F sound.

Hi I still have not been able to identify these coins. I soaked them in distilled water and they turned white. A stiff brush cleaned them up nicely .Maybe someone can identify them. Coin #1 is one left top and bottom and coin #2 is on right. thanks joseph

@josephrg, interesting zombie thread--maybe some fresh eyes can help. Can you confirm that there are no holes along the edges?
