@CB, these are very nice pick-ups. Have you been to wildwinds yet to try to attribute them yourself?

One on the left is Faustina senior wife of Antoninus Pius...Maybe something like this..again courtesy of wildwinds..

Faustina Sr AE Sestertius. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / AETERNITAS S-C, Aeternitas seated left holding phoenix & scepter. Cohen 15.

You have the coins in hand so maybe you can see more detail but this will hopefully point you in the right direction.

Faustina I is Faustina II's mom.
Most of the coinage I've seen commemorates her deification (DIVA).
Not sure whether you have a sestertius or an as (my guess is the former).
Better pics size and weights would help.

Like mom Faustina II was also deified. I can't see details on her coin so can't help.

Use Wildwinds for ID.

Faustina I's page: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...ina_I/i.html
Faustina II's page: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...na_II/i.html

I paid $75 for my Faustina I sestertius.
After you ID both coins, then visit Vcoins.com to see what the coins are selling for retail. Or you can get fancy and check sales on coinarchives.com or ebay.
