I hope you are keeping the coins with the envelopes!
Trajans are always popular if they are in good condition. That dupondius looks interesting.

Is the pile of coins all your unattributed ones?

If you want us to identify the unattributed ones, we need to see both sides of the coin, in focus, preferably close enough to read the legend.

Looks to be a sestertius (somewhat like a dollar coin) of Marcus Aurelius (as Caesar ie junior emperor)it dates from the period around AD150. The reverse looks like Minerva who is typically shown with shield and spear. Condition is a bit rough. Market value would probably be between $20-30. Better photos always help sell a coin too !

PS. Do not attempt to clean anything. Not knowing what you are doing will likely result in damage. When in doubt do nothing !

As you are going along, record the diameter in mm and also the weight if you can. If you come across a really thick coin, record the depth as well.
