 We need bigger pictures to tell you anything specific, but they are Roman coins, Imperial issues, in bronze. Larger pictures + sizes would help. |

Number 1 is without doubt the emperor Trajan denomination bronze 'As'
looks to have a nice green patina (desirable) but needs conservation (aka cleaning) to remove some of the dirt.
Number 2 is a bronze 'follis' of the junior (aka Caesar) emperor Constantius
Thessaloniki mint circa AD300 - again needs cleaning
Number 3 is a bronze 'follis' of the junior emperor Galerius
Heraclea mint circa AD300 - needs cleaning
Number 4 thoroughly uncleaned bronze As or Dupondius of female
looks to be mid 2nd century - a long soaking in distilled water will make a world of difference on this one
Number 5 bronze follis of Licinius (brother inlaw and co emperor with Constantine the Great) circa AD315
Reverse IOVI CONSERVATORI ie "Zeus Saves" ! Heraclea mint needs cleaning
Number 6 & 7 antoniniani of Probus and Diocletian ....... need cleaning
Number 8 & 9 ...... good question ! A little cleaning will go a long way to sorting that out !

As to what they are worth ?
What some fool will pay for them of course ! In the condition they are in around 50 clams. With a good careful conservation at least double. If what looks to be the female is someone less common maybe triple.

 I would soak the lot in distilled water for a couple of days and see what rubs off using your fingers. Take care not to disturb the patina. |

to the community. A very nice gift. They are all nice coins. Other than the Trajan they are all late empire and are fairly common, so the value isn't very high. Still they make a nice addition to any collection. On a side note. It's best to only post one or two coins per thread, it makes it easier for us to give you a better ID. |
