You are a moving library Bob L, amazing!!
I think #7 is Moushmov 5458, the horse is at the right place and the face in the correct shape, need to have a closer look at the coin to see if I can read any letter.
It's partly crystallized, guess from fire and I don't dare any cleaning without microscope and I don't have one.
The #8 is good shape and looking pretty rare as well
Thank you once again!

Any chance to come from Antandros, Troas? Is having similarities but I can't read the inscription to be sure.

Bob L, I need your lights and knowledge
is there any chance for the coin #5 to come from Achilleion in Troas?
The reverse looks pretty similar.

That does seem likely based on the "civic monogram" reverse. The obverse is struck too off-center to be useful for identifying.
That coins appears to have bronze disease. Best to keep it isolated. It is a time for social distancing, after all.

All of my coins are isolated, so no fear from rust or bronze disease
I may practice do some light cleaning... if is gone is gone... it's sick after all :)

I make a very light cleaning at the uncertain coin #5 it appears to be a coin from Achileion, Troas Crested Helmet / AX monogram not in the best condition but I believe is very rare in any condition   |

The obverse countermark, by the way, is likely from the Bosporus Kingdom.
