Hello everyone. I've had these coins sitting around, and I occasionally try to id them… no luck so far. So I ask for your help. They all seem to be bronze or copper

WOW that was quick! thanks

for the 2nd, Phrygia, Aezanis, but 2 letters are missing (NЄ) it should be written AIZANЄITΩN. Obverse Serapis but the reverse does not match, perhaps a fake...…

I have a feeling about it as well. The metal is colored more like brass than bronze, and the obverse bust seems a bit…. Too nice for the overall condition of the coin, if that makes sense. But neither of those things are unheard of, and I am wanting to compare it to the verified coins. Thanks for the help.

I agree that #2 looks fake.

Is something like this:

#2 is Not Fake, Here is the RPC Link. Note that the style is the same. Possible a die match too.

this coin leaves me perplexed... there have already been counterfeits on RPC then removed, the edge also leaves me perplexed, as here there is a trace of a casting.…

I think that is a cheap phone camera effect. Here are some cleaner pictures of the edge with a macro lens

It looks fine to me.
