I can only imagine that was a hard decision for you, and I wish you the best of luck. On the other hand visiting so many countries seems like a...
I can not say anything about your coins as I do not collect Judaen, only point to an instance relating to your question. This is more for general...
The top two are Phoenicia, Arados 1st, and Marathos 2nd. I hope you are only planning on removing the loose dirt, otherwise these will be ruined.
Looks like a lot of 4th century Roman's you have there. All common but in great shape. Good job. Edit This should get you started...
