I remember buying these coins on ebay and I dont remember what I payed or what type they were, would any one know their value and what kind of coin they are? These were bought from seperate ebay sellers about 7 years ago. Please use the image upload feature provided here. Thank you -david

Hi David and welcome to CCF.
Your link isn't clickable

I was able to see it by adding a . in your URL... there are generally restrictions on imgur because they allow non family-friendly content. But that's neither here nor there.
The first two coins are definitely fake. The first purports to be a denarius of Caracalla, but the bust is entirely wrong, and it's neither silver enough to be an imperial denarius, nor coppery enough to be a limes denarius.
Second purports to be of Manlia Scantilla, wife of Didius Julianus, who ruled just a couple months in 193 AD. She is very heavily faked.

Yes it would not let me post images even if I shrunk them , so I just added an imgur link . You would have to copy and paste the link and add a ( . ) dot , what about the 3rd coin , does it have any value or meaning?

Dont get mad at me please , but I am unable to resize the images down to 300 kb , the most I could resize them are to 350k a peice , if you want to view the images copy and paste this link here into the seaech bar without the quotations " imgur com/a/uNduX " Then in between the words imgur and com and a period like this > .
Again dont get mad at me but it wont let me post links or upload my images unless I show you 15% of my coin .
Thank you all

Thanks I see the pics. I try not to comment on authenticity as I still consider myself a little above a beginner. But I agree, the Manlia Scantilla is faked a lot.
Especially this one that you have:
Obv:- MANLIA SCAN TILLA AVG, draped bust right, hair in bun behind Rev:- IVNO REGINA SC, Juno standing left, holding patera, peahen below
I haven't seen any fakes with that much wear though - but wear is also faked
