A while ago I purchased a little hoard of ancient coins. So far I didnt had the time to ID and categorize them. Here are some of the better ones. OK here we go. Looks like Gallienus with stag facing right. I looked around but couldnt find a type like it Weight : 3.17 G / 22 MM   02 3.59G / 22 mm   03 2.47G / 20 mm   04 3.72G / 18 mm   05 2.78G / 20 mm   06 1.88G / 16 mm   07 1.87G / 15 mm   08 2.58G / 21 mm   09 2.03G / 15 mm   10 2.25G / 20 mm   11 1.67G / 19 mm   12 2.40G / 17 mm   13 2.26G / 21 mm   14 2.29G / 18 mm   What are we looking at here ? Rulers and denominations? Is there any value to these coins ? Thank you so much guys :) Edited by GEKO

It would be a lot easier for us to post one or two coins at a time. A whole slue of coins is just too much. First coin is Gallienus, the 2nd is Aurelian, third Probus, I believe 4 is Gallienus also, 5 looks like another Gallenius.

6 another Gallienus, 7 looks like a barbaric imitation of Tetficus I, 8 Not sure, 9 Constantius II, 10 Probus, 11 Salonia, 12 not sure, 13 Constantine I and 14 Constantius II

As for value , these are very common and most of them are not in the best of condition. Perhaps $20-25 for the lot.

Sorry for the slue. I did correct Photo 26.
Thanks so far.
For Coin Number 1 there is some lettering above the stags head that doesn't seem to belong to the legend. Is this a certain type of the series ?
I have been looking up some of the coins and here is what I have so far
2. Aurelian recieving a globe from jupiter.
3. Probus / Jupiter holding thunderbolt and scepter R / B
4. Gallienus / Jupiter holding thunderbolt
5. Gallienus / Looks like pax seated however couldn't find anything like it.
looking around I saw a coin of salonina that had a similar design with pax
6 Gallienus / Possibly pax holding branch and scepter ?
Oh and thanks bob for the compliment.... I tried :)

The first coin is double struck so the legend looks messed up.
