#7: on the obverse you can clearly see TET above the head, so it'll be Tetricus I or II (Anglo-Gallic).

#8 isn't quite legible enough.

#9: I think I can read "...ORINVS PF AVG" on the obverse. Best fit for that is Victorinus, one of the less common Anglo-Gallic emperors.

These kinds of radiates, from the breakaway piece of the Empire that ruled Britain, are very commonly found in the UK, and hence are very common in "Roman scratchtrays" throughout the English-speaking world.

Could the legend on 8 be making use of the 'sol/i invictus' phrase? Still can't tell much about it beyond that possibility at first glance.

No, but you've prompted me to have another look at #8, and I think I can see enough to ID it.

The readable part of the reverse legend says "AAVGG" -AVGG meaning "of the emperors". All this tells us is that at the time this coin was issued, two people were recognised as emperor. What we can't read clearly is the attribute the emperors are acclaimed to have eg. VICTORIA AVGG (Victory of the emperors) or CONCORDIA AVGG (Agreement of the emperors). All we know for sure is that it ends in A.

Now I look at the obverse again, I can read "IMPT" - and since so few emperors of the period have names starting with T, it pretty much narrows it down to Tetricus I. And there's only one type of Tetricus I listed in Sear and on Wildwinds as having a reverse type ending in AAVGG: LAETITIA AVGG (Gladness of the emperors).
