the divot in the center is perfectly acceptable and normal, we believe they were lathed or pressed instead of hammer struck
the first one has some sort of symbol in front of the eagle so it can be narrowed down if someone knows what that's supposed to be
the other two will be tough with no other visible symbols unless I'm blind
they just say "of King Ptolemy" on the reverse of all 3
I'd like to buy #2 or #3 when someone IDs it correctly, the two eagles are curious
given that #3 Zeus-Ammon appears to be horned and we have two eagles and the coin weighs a ton I'm going to throw a guess out there that it's Ptolemy I while his son Ptolemy II was co-regent 285-283 BCE
