    The top four coins are worth around 30-40 dollars each in that condition (unless if there are any rare types), and the bottom coins aren't really worth that much.

    Honestly these are so easy to identify, just read the text. I would recommend a bit more effort on your end before posting a dozen coins to ID for you

    Better a dozen (really only seven!) requests in one post than seven separate posts in a row! Still, yes, I can see your point that one might expect a bit more effort from someone who clearly isn't new to ancients.

    Four very recognizable portraits for anyone willing to take a little simple effort on their part to become familiar with them.

    While usually willing to help new (or new to ancients) members; I grow tired of regular posters whose only 'contribution' to the board is to ask for others to identify their coins for them; often with the follow up "Is it rare?" "What is it worth?".

    'Google' is your friend.

    Dear Colleagues. Don't take my questions harshly. There one seems to be rare.

    TR POT = TRIBVNIA POTESTATE

    With no numeral following the abbr.; it means that this was the 1st year that the title was held by M. Aurelius (as Caesar).

    It (along with COS II - meaning Consul for a second term) helps to effectively date the coin to AD 146-147.

    Marcus Aurelius received tribunician power the same day his wife was declared Augusta -- 1 December, AD 147, the day after she delivered her first child.

    The Fasti Ostienses (Pb.13-15) record:

    Pr. k. Dec. Aurelio Caesar/[ex A]nnia Faustina filia nata est. K. Decem. Aurelius Caesar/[trib] pot iniit et Faustina Aug cognominata est.

    Which translates as:

    One day before the Kalends of December a daughter was born by Annia Faustina to Aurelius Caesar. On the Kalends of December Aurelius Caesar entered the tribunician power and Faustina was named Augusta.

    On 10 December each year during the reign of Antoninus Pius, the tribunician power was renewed, and Marcus' TR P II began on 10 December 147.

    The coin can be dated to the first week and a half of December, AD 147. Pace Mattingly, but Faustina's first child was not born in AD 146.
