Bunch Of Old Coins

They look real enough, whether they are worth bidding on depends on how cheap you could get them. I am seeing a lot of worn, corroded , damaged and or cleaned coins. You might be tempted by what might be hiding beneath, but most likely they are in even worse condition then the ones you see. There is a reason the seller hid them.

I agree, $40 is probably a fair price too shoot for. The funny shaped one in the center looks like a Russian wire kopeck, that could date from the 1500's

That's not a wire kopeck, it looks like a Seljuq fractional ($3-14 each depending on date/mint), along with the one next to it. I'm also seeing one (maybe two) akches hiding out in there (retail about $3-5 each). Also a Mamluk dirhem all the way on the right, about $3-6, the photo is unclear so I can't really read it. All fairly common.
It would be better for him to separate the Islamic out and sell it separately on this lot.
