I've been looking for a while to ID these three coins. They look Roman but I haven't had any luck. Any ideas?

#1: Emperor Elagabalus, a dupondius judging by the spiky headgear. Reverse MARS VICTOR, Mars walking with spear and trophy. Sear lists a sestertius and an as with this design, but not a dupondius; none of the copper Mars coins are no Wildwinds.

#2: Emperor Tiberius, an as, but the large letters SC normally on either side of the seated figure appear to be absent. Example.

#3: Emperor Severus Alexander, an as, reverse PM TRP VIII COS III PP, emperor in "slow, decorated quadriga". This example is in much better condition.

I have to say, the second and third look decidedly suspicious to me; they might be cast counterfeits.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
