I just sent you a welcome.
I think you chose the best forum topic as your coins could be either ancient or medieval.
A larger picture of a single coin may be easier to identify.

 to the community It's best to take pictures of one or two coins at a time so that we can see all the detail of the coin. However from what I can see it appears the most if not all of these are fakes and sold to tourist. The only one that appears to be real is the last coin with the hole in it a Justinian I follis from the Constantinople mint. |

The coin with the hole resembles the one that I have indicated.  The cross and the words "Anno XII" are Latin, Christian period. Genuine or not? I will let others voice their opinion. |

All coins look like ancient Grrek, Roman or Byzantine. Please post pictures of both sides of a coin if you want to have it identified. |

Your Byzantine, the bottom one is listed on the ForgeryNetwork website as an identified forgery, see http://www.forgerynetwork.com/asset...lPD1UicQSbI=As 'chrsmat71' said, the other coin you posted larger pictures of looks spurious. Because the pictures are not sharp enough, I would withhold a definite judgement. For all the others one would need to see larger pictures. |

The coin that says Agrippa is a fake. I can't say for the rest of em. Happy holidays and best wishes. If I may add , don't let a few fakes discourage you out of a great hobby.

As stated in my last post, the coin with the large M on it is a known fake.
To avoid confusion either number the coins or show only one at a time, it seems that in your last post picture 1 and 2 are one coin, then pictures 3 and 5, and finally pictures 4 and 6.

All of the coins in the first group of pictures are fake. The only one that appears to be genuine is the second picture the coin with the hole in it. Would like to see a larger picture of that one to confirm though.
