    Not that I can claim to know anything about Roman coins, but #2 and #3 do not look Roman to me. There is something about the portrait on the one in the middle that makes it look "not-so-Roman" in my eyes. The coin on the right looks like an Indo-Greek piece of some sort, perhaps Indian.

    The first coin could be a late Roman coin from the 3rd to 4th cent. AD. Most of these coins are common, but then some are not. I can't see the difference, however!

    The first two are Roman, the third is from Roman Egypt (260s-280s). Neither has much value in this grade, I'm afraid.

    A grade is an inadequate report of an inaccurate judgement by a biased and variable judge of the extent to which a coin corresponds to an undefinable level of an unattainable state of preservation. - Never tell me that grading is science.

    actually, if i'm not mistaken, the second roman is a better emperor-- looks like Julian The Apostate who ruled 360-63. In Christian-Era Rome, he was one of the last emperors, maybe THE last, to try and return Rome to the pagan tradition. His coins do look different, because unlike other 4th century Roman rulers, he had a distinctive beard.

    I had a hunch it wasn't worth much. Thanks for the input folks.
