Have got new lot found in Estonia photographed. Out from found 18 coins only 3 are with some images still notable. Two of them are below.

Lower one is certainly Faustina Youger. Left upper looks like Marcus Aurelius. Third one is too worn.

Very interesting @corvus! It would be super cool if you could post pics of the individual coins (obv and rev) so that we can really see the details on them.

Also, I wonder what some of the others here would recommend about how to best conserve these coins from further corrosion.

Those coins were laying abt year in car trunk before handed over. Now we have to stop future corrosion but damage already made. We do have quite good possibilites, but for those ones momentum lost allready. So, we have four coins left with some sort bust visiable. But from reverse nothing to see..

Possible Marcus Aurelius sestertius:

Definitely Faustina Younger sestertius:

Top coin looks like Gordian III or Severus Alexander

Or it could be Philip I... tough to make out the jaw which which could help distinguish. Gordian III had a very tall forehead, so I don't think he is likely.
