    First off - I am not an expert on Ancients, so the more informed will positively identify.
    The pics are rather small making it difficult to attribute.
    But my impression is that they are not real. The shape does not appear to be good.
    Check out vcoins.com - they specialize on ancients.
    Hope I am wrong - but don't get your hopes up.

    All are poor, modern cast counterfeits.

    I'm no ancient coin expert, but I see why you say they are cast counterfeits. What I wonder about is......Even #1? That one does look more authentic. 2nd opinion anyone?

    I concur with Ardatirion. Definitely all fakes.

    Fakes, im 100% sure. Even on number 1 im 99.99999% sure just from the tiny photo. These would be of the type sold to tourists in mediterranean countries for the most part.
