Hello Ancient experts,
Ijust received these ancient coins amongst a collection and I have absolutely NOT the faintest idea what they are and if they have any value or not.
Hopefully someone can identify these and help with them.

    I am working at the moment so I cannot give you a more comprehensive answer. I have no idea what C is, but the first coin is from the reign of Hadrian. The second coin is from the reign of Phiip. Once I have my references available, those two should be identified easily. However, I think you will get an anwer soon.

    I agree with harasha about the first two portraits. Meethinks that the third is likely to remain a UFO, but we have some top notch people on this forum.

    @YQQ If you provide the weight and diameter of the 3rd coin, it might help.

    well, I thought nothing easier than that..
    but.. my GF cleaned my place (than you) very rigorously... and I am so far unable to find scale and caliber .....
    it will have to wait until (hopefully) tomorrow :)
    women.. can't live with them or do not want to live without them or however the saying goes.
