What do you think of this one? Kinda looks like the face was double stamped?
Also what is a round about worth of coins of this era, I have about 30 or so.
Thanks

I don't believe that this coin was double struck. The condition appears to be more a result of preservation issues or corrosion. It is a coin of Valentinian I with a GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse. Many late Roman bronzes are very common, such as this one. Unless they are a rare type or in really good condition, they are not worth much and can be purchased, on average, for 1-3 dollars apiece-- and even cheaper if you buy in bulk.

The reverse is emperor advancing right, dragging captive by the hair & holding labarum

Here is a nice example from Valens off Wildwinds
