0.9 grams, 12.0 mm. Judean lepton? (Looks somewhat like the fakes)

Arkie, I think you're likely right about number one (Judaean), although the reverse anchor is hard to make out. I think it's legit. Perhaps a Hendin 1153 (AE issue of Alexander Jannaeus). The 1153's average 0.81 gr., so at .9 gr. yours is in the ballpark.

The first coin does look Judaean, but I'm not able to say what the other two might be.

I think the second has either a lightning bolt, or Isis headband. Maybe Seleucid?

Agree that the first is probably a Jannaeus lepton or prutah.
