Here are the (9) coins that I referred to earlier.

Could they be early Greek coins or are they Kushan?

All coins are (up to) 12.5 mm and weigh (up to ) 2.3 gm.

The three-pronged tamgha symbol on the first coin suggests Kushan for that one.

Coins two through six may also be Kushan, perhaps Soter Megas/Vima Taktu bronzes (Senior ISCH type 13). These types have the "king mounted right with arm raised; three-pronged tamgha in right field" on the obverse and Zeus with sceptre, with a Kharosthi legend around, on the reverse.

Bob, thanks for the help. I am off to do some research along the lines that you suggest, today.

Thanks, again,
