First coin looks like a Roman Imperial circa 350-450 AD can't make out the rim lettering to ID the ruler, photo is too dark to make out reverse legend. The mint will be at the bottom of the coin on the reverse, 4 to 6 letters it they start with SM then is Sacred Monetia which was issued privately. CIVITAS may be able to give you a better ID on it. I can't tell on the second peice but suspect late greek. Both peices most probably bronze. First peice should go for $5-25 the other may go higher depending on country of origin. The greek stuff generally goes substancially higher than the roman coins.

These do not seem to be types associated with bronzes but are more likely silver types.

The first looks like a denarius, perhaps of the emperor Vespasian (AD 69-79). It's hard to be sure, but it looks like the letters "VESP" appear above the head on the obverse. It clearly has a blank exergue consistent with the 1st century AD.

The second is the type of the Roman Republican Victoriatus with Jupitur on the obverse. The reverse type is Roma crowning a trophy with the word "ROMA" in exergue. The date is ca. BC 211-207. According to Sear, this coin was lighter than the denarius and of a weight similar to a drachm to facilitate trade with the Greeks in southern Italy.

Neither look high grade but if genuine, a RETAIL value of $25-50 would seem about right.
