Do any of these look real?

3 more treasures dug up in the bottom of a box. I doubt any are real but I figured I'd post them anyway. I know nothing about ancients so I can't judge their authenticity. Thanks, Mike.

There is only so much information you can get from low-resolution images. Please take a large pic of each coin, separately, and supply us with the dimensions: diameter in millimeters and weight in grams.

 

The center coin's obverse is copied from a very expensive tetradrachm of Katane, Sicily. I'm not sure which coin the reverse is supposed to imitate, but it seems to be a modern fantasy. The styling of the Postumus antoninianus (the coin on the right) doesn't look right to me. The coin on the left is (or is trying to be) a Roman Republican denarius. The picture is too small to allow a more specific attribution or opinion on authenticity.

Even if all are modern imitations, they're still pretty cool

 

yes there all fake if you want proof send them in to grding via ncs

 

Ok, I'll see about getting better pics tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

 

I'm not ready to throw the "F" word out there just yet. They may be, but I would like to see better images before I condemn them all.

 

I suspect they are fake, but ...yeah, i'm with bing..i'm not convinced they are all fake without better pics and some coin stats.

 

I just bought a M.Tullius
120BC ,Denarius 3.87g
Helmeted head of Roma r ROMA
behind Rx Victory in Quadriga r Wreath Above , X below horses , MTVLLI in exerque . While the obverse is close , yours looks different . Maybe it's another type with a biga reverse .

 

Well, it seems that most of you think they're all fake. That sounds logical to me as well. They were in a double row red box with a lot of really cheap stuff like wheat pennies worn buffalo nickles, etc. The guy who owned this stuff was a coin dealer in mostly US coins. Had they been real he would have had them in 2X2's or something.
Anyway, here's some better pics with the specs of each one just in case. I appreciate everyone's opinions and comments.
The first and largest one is 25mm and weighs 16.9 grams.
The second one is 20mm and weighs 3.6 grams.
The final one is 15mm and weighs 2.4 grams.

 

I think the Roma denarius should weigh about 3.87g .

 

The bigger pics are much better, thank you. They all look like cast replicas, and rzage is correct - the weight of the denarius is far too low.

 

I agree. Fakes to be sure. Sorry. I hate using the "F" word, but one has to call it as they see it, right?

 

I guess they will just go back in a "junk box" like where I found them.
Regards, Mike.
