At best these look to have been stripped of all their Patina.
Going from the 1st that looks to be an As of Claudius I, the 2nd appears to be an As of Marcus Aurelius (the reverse depicting him and Lucius Verus), the 3rd appears to be an AE2 of Magnentius (though not in his usual fat faced way).
The 4th appears to be an AE Follis of Maxentius.

Were these found in Algeria? Do you know if these have been cleaned?

with Masis' basic attributions. That should provide you with the start that should lead to full identification.

I like obtaining coins in the condition as there ones are, for about $5 or so, each.
The fun starts by providing a full description of them, so that they would then be valued at perhaps $10 each, because they have been fully identified.

The REAL benefit comes with the increase in your knowledge of Roman coins. Patience is a virtue. In a few cases, it has taken me months or years to fully identify them.
