Top one is Emperor Augustus Trajan AD103-105. I think it is a Denarius


Obv: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P - Laureate head right, draped
left shoulder. Rev: COS V P P SPQR OPTIMO PRINC - Felicitas standing

= RIC II, 120 (s) Scarce, page 252 - British Museum - SEAR RCV II

Does it weigh 3.02 g or thereabouts?

The three Roman denarii are definitely counterfeits.

First: Trajan denarius. Lettering style is too large and too clear, and the portrait doesn't have enough detail or relief. Looks like casting bubbles all over the coin, and the flan is almost perfectly round with no edge cracks.

Second: Severus Alexander denarius. Portrait looks about right, but the lettering is far too clear with no flow lines from striking.

Third: I think Venice, should be gold. Not my area so I'll refrain.

Fourth: Hadrian denarius. Looks soft like it was cast; relief is too low on the portrait and the lettering doesn't look right. Again, the perfectly round shape doesn't sit right.

Fifth: Greek, not my area.

It weighs 3.16g TobyJ these and others where taken out of the ground so I am pretty sure they are legit I've got a few more, just trying to find out what they are before I send them to be graded and so forth how can I find out more detailed information on these coins like what you just sent me? is there a website or book that states prices as well? I appreciate all the help

There isn't one genuine coin in the group, They are all recent fakes either made in the Middle East or Eastern Europe. BTW your profile says you are in Canada, but your actual location is in Lebanon which makes me think these coins can from there.
