The first one is likely Austrio-Hungarian with a coat of arms on the obverse (second picture), which should be rotated 90 degrees to the right....
Looks like a provincial bronze of Caracalla? Not my area of expertise, but the designs look soft, so not sure if it is genuine. A worn coin would...
Wow - that is indeed really cool! I wonder what your collection of antiquities looks like!
It's my understanding that weight (ponderal) standards were different across Greece and the Magna Grecia as each Greek polis originally developed...
The big Levant hoard of Athenian tetradrachms and the influx of Alexander the Great Dekadrachms from Gaza are two examples I'm aware of. See...
I would say that in some cases, hoards have reduced the value of previously "scarce" and therefore expensive coins. Athenian tetradrachms were...
Cool article and cool coin! It sounds like a denarius of Antoninus Pius with Marcus Aurelius on the reverse. Would have been collectable even in...
Looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Nice coin. Looks genuine, if that's what you're asking about. Has some honest wear.
Try Wildwinds https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ It looks like a drachm of Parion, Mysia. You can read PA on the reverse above the bull....
Just a thought... if other coins you acquired from your collector friend are suspect, I would be wary of all coins you acquired from him. Perhaps...

Here are a couple of owl tetradrachm examples. Like @Codera, this is not my collecting area but as the Athenian owl tetradrachm is such an iconic...
Man, that's too bad! Looks like the coin was in great shape, but the patina's too brittle and flakes off with the surface deposits. Pretty hit and...
Agree, it is a modern cast fake.
It's RIC1 60 as the legend is NERO CAESAR AVGVSTVS not IMP NERO CAESAR AVGVSTVS
Nero, 54-68 AD. The Salus reverse is pretty common, but Nero is a scarcer emperor. Nice coin!
There are other factors that have come into play as well. In the olden days, when people were limited to buying from mail-order price lists, local...
For me it depends as well. Typically medieval coin designs may not have busts of rulers or gods on them like Roman or Greek coins, so it's more...
Separate names with a comma.
