I picked this coin up off of ebay for $1.12 and have no idea of who he is. I looked through wildwinds and with no luck.

One of the Constantines but I can't say for sure Constans or Constantius perhaps.

I can rule out Constans. It looks like Constantius II, but it could easily be Constantine I, II or even a poor rendering of Gallus (unlikely). Id provisionally labell it as Constantius II until its in hand when you'll be able to make out other details.

What about this reverse, looks like a soldier with his foot on something holding a shield. The front is very crusted and I can not tell the emperor at all.

Michael, post different coins on different threads, it is easier to keep track of.

This is very corroded, I don't think I can tell from pics.
