Need pictures of individual coins both sides, so that they an be identified.
Heavily encrusted / corroded ancient coins have a nominal value in the $5 to $10 range.
Professionally cleaned and fully identified, they can be worth very considerably more, depending on condition, rarity and market demand.

Hey Beholderseyes,
I think your first added pic set is an late 4th century Roman bronze coins of Theodosius (I think I can see that "ODO" in the legend there about 10 o'clock), the reverse I think I can see 6 legs total, so it's probably Theodosius, Arcadius, and Honorious, kind of a family picture on the back.

Your second set of pics, I can't see the legend, but its a 4th century Roman coin also.

They really aren't worth much, like sel said a few USD maybe. The more of the legends and the details you can see, generally the better for the value and the easier to ID.

Hi. Your coins look to be late Romans from the 3rd to 4th centaury and probably not worth a lot. If you still have them and want to sell them ebay is your best bet. Put them in lots of 3-5 coins with good pics of both sides with a starting bid of 5-9 dollars. Collectors buy coins like these for ID practice. Wish you luck-
