All of these so called 'silvers' I got from the seller 'Lucernae' of ebay so I'm a bit worried too.

Doctorwho  to the community You should start your own thread when you want information on your coins unless they pertain to the current thread. When looking for identification only post one or two coins per thread it makes it easier for us to ID them.

Your first coin appear to be an Antoninianus of Philip I (the Arab), obverse legend: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG. The reverse image is too small to tell what it is. The bust strike is fairly good, but the lettering is broken and weak, I have some doubts about this coin. The obverse image on your second coin is too small to tell who it is, will need a larger image. Coin three is also Philip I, this one looks good.

I believe that Lucernae is on the level as far as ebay sellers go. I agree with Echizento--1 and 3 are antoninianii of Philip the Arab. Second one we need a clear picture of the obverse--could be Gordian III or Philip the Arab. Fourth is a Republican denarius.

Thanks for your help Everyone  and Finn235 I know Lucernae is on the level as far as ebay sellers go. I've got a few bronzes from him and their real it's just these ones that bugged me  that's all. Anyway thanks for your Everyone  Also I kind of like the Gordian the 3rd ones I wish he reigned a bit longer  he was one of the good ones. It's like Game of Thrones the Roman way.

The one from 1616 AD Holland feels to light to be silver too.

Feels like a cheap aluminium copy of it.
