Help! What the Heck are these?????

I got these as part of collection I bought. I borrowed the books on greek and roman coins from the ANA library and could not identify the coins. Can anyone tell me what any of these are? I would be always in your debt, and I can pay with obsolete German Marks!!! Please tell me what they are worth. We can split anything over a $1,000,000. Seriously, if anyone knows what they are and if they are worth anything please let me know.

Obverse's (I think)

Reverse's.

    Roman bronze coins. As to value, not sure.

  • Is there a reference site I could go to to do research? I am interested in trying to figure out the dates?

    1 is not clear enough for me to tell.

    2. is an antoninianus of Postumus, 260s AD

    3. looks like a coin of Constantine I, 320-330

    4. is an Urbs Roma commemorative, roughly 330s AD

    5. is probably a Constantius II, 330-340s.

    You should be able to find at least 2-5 in Roman Coins and their Values by David Sear. All are less than $10-15 each.

    Hope that helps.

  • Wow! Thank you. Hope I can return the favor some day.
  • If they're common Romans (Constantine, Probus, Licinius, Claduis) they'll average about $4-$20 in the grades you've got.
