The first is a copy of a Domitian AV aureus.

Thanks Bob... That was my feeling on it...I just couldn't identify what it was copying.

I'm not sure if this is a match for the Vespasian sestertius since I'm not on my PC right now and can't do a side-by-side comparison. But here's a fake of the type for consideration.

Even without a side view shown, some areas of the edge of your coin (in your photo of the Vespasian reverse) look suspicious to me.

Bob,

I agree... The coin in hand also shows what I believe to be some artificial aging.... Just for the record, these are not mine &. They are still in the shop where I took these photos. Thanks again.
