I think this might be a Roman provincial of Macrinus's son. I have no clue what this is neither does the seller.A trident on the reverse? It looks like it's a real ancient and enticing at a $5 price tag on eBay 

I finally got a Marcus Aurelius Denarius! It's a really nice one too. This coin was minted in 166 AD to commemorate the victory of Parthian War.

It kind of looks like a polish-Lithuanian common wealth coin from the 1600s

4. this beats me, try to see what is the reverse design - I think I see Nike flying over a biga?!
5. Aeolis, Aigai https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9840751
6. Pergamom - https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7456707

Thanks I believe the one with Nike and a Biga is from Sicily

Was hoping for some more Id help for these pieces..

1. Looks Seleucid with the serrated edge but unfamiliar with a galley

2. Seleucid Antiochos IV ?

3. No clue

4. 21mm no idea

5. Lost on this one indo-Greek maybe

6. I think this is from Syracuse it is quite big around 20 mm

Next post a coin you don't own anymore

Diocletian Roman Egypt with Athena reverse. I enjoy Roman Egypt coins they are very distinct, recognizable, and like animated cartoons.

That coin is not worn/flan-damaged enough to be so underweight, unless it's a fourrée. RR coins ought to firmly be in the 3-4g(+/-) range.  Anything well under 3g, throws up flags.

After looking at the seller's 'website', it would be a big "nope" for me.

Are there other fakes on his website?

Well, I guess that's a blues moment for me. I was really looking forward to getting a Caesar denarius. I was even willing to shell out $500 for it! I'm not really looking forward to gambling for a possible fake. I hope one will come on the market eventually that is $500 or less.

I recently got another Napoleon 5 francs. This one 1811-W has nice hair detail. Has old cleaning but nice details. They are plain but attractive when all the details are there.

The weight is low but it isn't alarming I seen a JC portrait coin being sold by eternitycoin on eBay that is 2.9 grams. I kind of have faith here that it's genuine.

paxromanacoins.com is the sellers website

That is a really light weight, though it could just be heavily crystallized in addition to the wear. The coin doesn't scream fake to me but I'd be very cautious about a portrait JC denarius just because they're so popular to fake. Is it an established and trusted dealer?

I did talk about the weight he said it's likely underweight due to being underground and the cleaning process 

He seems pretty reputable, he has his own online store outside of eBay. The dealer is based in Serbia. I know Bulgarian fakes are extremely convincing. He showed me pics of the edge as well and there is no sign of casting. None of his other coins strike me as fake either.

Was thinking of getting a Julius Caesar after saving up. I think this one looks authentic. The dealer said it was a metal detector find in Sirmium. It weighs 2.6 grams. It dates from 44 bc Jan-Feb It has a bankers mark on the obverse. Hope it's the real deal. My apologies for asking for so much help.

If it's a fake it looks not bad. The seller did not list the weight and diameter that is suspicious. Although I think it's cast.

A nice Marcus Aurelius denarius is up there for me. A really cool emperor. He is my favorite of the 5 good emperors tied with Trajan.

Hi @Amarmur,

Looks Like Svoronos 1917. See https://numismatics.org/pco/id/svoronos-1904.1917?lang=en

Wow a Cleopatra VII! No way! that's a big win for me. It's in great shape too! 

I have this weird one I bought unattributed on eBay. I have no clue what's going on with poor Zeus he's a mutant. It's a Ptolemaic Egyptian bronze. I've not been able to identify it but it's a curious piece.

I see a second head sprouting offthe first! As well he has the horns of Ammon. Though I do see two eagles on the reverse.

If you have size and weight it would make it much easier to assist. 

It's a weird one for sure. It is around 3 grams and has a diameter of 20mm around. There is a cornucopia mint mark. I tried to see something similar on this website but couldn't really find anything. It is likely a later piece 

Ptolemaic Bronze Denomination Series (ptolemybronze.com)

Were the workers at the mint drunk? It looks like Zeus sprouted a second head or is it supposed to look like this... What happened here? Lol Anyone have a clue on IDing it? It's around 20 mm btw

Theodosius I in armor with a boat reverse and an Allectus Quinarius with a galley reverse. 

This one is cool it is from 66/67 AD and it is a Nero Egypt Tetradrachm. It is a dual portrait issue with Tiberius on the reverse. Overall an attractive coin. Nero had a lot of influence in Egypt so these coins are pretty common but interesting nonetheless. I like Roman Egypt coins for their lightly cartoonish style portraiture. 

Alexander the Great Hemibol Macedonia lifetime issue.

The Tyche I believe is late Roman republic early Roman imperial because of the style and lack of lettering on the obverse suggest it's closer to Greek coins. I think the figure on the reverse is Athena. I think it is from Syria. It's a tough one to ID but I picked it because of its nice patina and obverse. 
 

i greatly appreciate all the help I am getting!

Tyche - difficult one, but I suspect it's similar to https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/11864 because the stance of the reverse character suggests Dionysus and I think I see the panther on the lower left. 

I don't think that is a Hadrian sestertius. The visible legend in the obverse is C TPAIAN ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ and this indicates a provincial. Judging after the size you mentioned (similar to a sestertius) I would say the coin is from Alexandria, something similar to https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/5836 - you would need to check Alexandrian reverses for an exact match.

3rd - Pius from Antioch - correct.

This one is very puzzling. I could not find a match but I am sure somebody else will be able to shed some light. The monogram on the reverse could be the key - AN?!

I figured out the Hadrian Alexandria coin. The reverse is a sphinx. Pretty cool not disappointed! Thanks for the help and the other 2 will take some more research..

I had quite the trip to a coin show today overall I had a great time and got 10 ancients pretty good ones for $70. The highlight was the Nero denarius for $20 for me. The guy did not do his research!
 

of the ten 2 are cappadocian drachmas, 1 is a hemidrachm coin of Alexander III, 1 is a Nero Provincial from Phyriga, 1 is a Victorinius with Pietas, the other 4 I need some help with...

I can't ID the Roman provincial with Tyche

I can't make out the reverse of the Hadrian Sestertius I think there is a shield and trident I hope it's an early Britannia!

There is a nice Greek ancient with a horse and an off center Zeus? No clue

Last, a Roman provincial from Antioch with Antoninus Pius? Not sure.
