Greetings. I am looking for some identification of these coins. One or two may not be coins, it is difficult to tell but are metallic and in one case, is rather thick to be a coin, in my opinion. Regardless, any information you can offer woudl be most appreciated. I will jsut link the images since they are rather large but I cropped them so they wouldn't be to annoying to navigate.

#2 is ancient Roman, but the coin is too far gone to tell who it is for sure.
#3 is also ancient Roman appears to be the emperor Licinius I, most of the inscription is missing but it should read: IMP LICINIVS PF AVG on the obverse and on the reverse IOVI CONSERATORI AVGG. Circa 312-313 AD.

Hello, thank you for your replies, Any chance any of those are worth anything? And the unidentifiable ones, would it be worthwhile to have any sort of work done on them like cleaning?

#2 and #5 could well be improved by cleaning. But I think part of the problem with identifying #4, if it is indeed a coin, is an overzealous cleaning job by a previous owner.
