very nice!
Hmmm. I wondered whether that black gunk was recently applied or not... knowing Lanz, it was likely applied to mask the coin's shortcomings like...

Love it - great find and great detective-work, Aidan!
Interesting! I have a bronze like the one in the lower left of the photo as well but always thought it was a piece of something rather than an aes...
Yes that one is of Godfrey the Bearded. Apparently this one is attributed to Mere as well, although I have seen it previously attributed to other...

The reverse assembly looks machined even though the "coin" side looks well worn. Perhaps it was an ancient coin reworked in modern times, although...
I think it could be legit, but better pictures may help ;)
#5 is likely a denarius of Hadrian, but as @hotwheelsearl mentioned, the acetone would clean up the obverse to identify with certainty. It doesn't...
How do we get in on the upcoming auction? I'm in Canada and would be interested in bidding.
