The one on the left might be a Herakles head? But I think the one on the right has like a vase or urn on one side and a bird of some sort on the reverse?

Bottom coin obverse, if flipped could be a ship. Right, eagle? Could be Seleucid or Phoenician.

Going to muddy the waters with this for Coin 1, but how about an anonymous AE Roman quadrans?

The OP coin has centration dimples. Republican coins are not my area, but am I correct in saying that AE quadrans don't typically have these features?

Based on the thickness of the coin and what bob stated, I'm almost certain it is a Greek coin. I want to say that looks like the prow of a galley or maybe it's the bowcase & club reverse?

I had thought earlier about making that same point. I agree it's likely a prow, but there are depictions of quivers that are somewhat similar. For example:

Thanks for that Bob, yeah, I wish there was more on the coin to tell, but I think we nailed it down pretty close. Thanks again.
