I will start with the easy one, which is the second coin..Trajan AR Didrachm of Caesaria, Cappadocia. COS 6 = 112-117 AD. AYTOKP KAIC NEP TPAIANO CEB GEPM DAK, laureate draped bust right / DHMARC EX UPATO V, club of Hercules. Metcalf 63c. The others are Roman Republican coinage, I will try and ID them later, but someone else might chime in before me, don't have the time at the moment.

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Were these coins dug or purchased in Turkey?

The last one is the only one that doesn't look over cleaned. However, on the plus side they all look real to me.

 

[Silver Searcher]

The coins are not over cleaned, just high resolution pictures make the coins look pitted.

Reverse image reminds me of Venus standing left holding cupid and scepter.
Then again, it could be Athena standing left holding Nike and spear.

PS: Letters are in Greek.
PPS: Maybe Seleucid Empire--one of the Antiochus' kings.

I just washed them with soapy water to get rid of some germs or dirt if any.I never clean my coins with chemicals.But I dont understand why it is difficult to identify the two venus style coins.I couldnt find any info about them.Please help me.

 

[numizmatikci]

I bought them but I dont know where he found them.Probably from the digger coiming from the villages.

It appears to look like this one:http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/images/capdrach.jpg
Cappadocian Kingdom. Ariobarzanes III, 52-42 BCE, AR Drachm
Obv: His laureate head right
Rx: Athena standing left, holding Nike right, spear and shield; in field to left, star and crescent.
Don........
PS: Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in Nevşehir Province, in Turkey.
PPS: The word:ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ in Greek (as shown on this coin) is King in English

Thank you all so much,now I m so happy with my coins but how about the approximate price for them?

 

[Mackaydon]

At this point, we've only tried to ID your 'coins'. The next step would be to have them authenticated. After you have them authenticated, the value can be determined by comparable, recent sales as may be shown on Ebay and coin auction sites.

Generally, they are not worth much, maybe $100 for the lot.

 

[Mackaydon]

How about you doing the research then telling us what you believe they are worth.
