Cannot get better or more pictures (It was a major task to get these pictures from owner). I am simply not qualified to comment on these.
What information are you trying to find? It is an interesting lot for someone who wants coins from 5 or 6 different centuries and a range of countries. The lot looks like a mixed low grade ancient lot. Probably "real", who would fake coins worth a couple of dollars each?
For me, that alone is enough to stay away. Apart from that, a poor picture, from miles away and through plastic, can't help much making one's own judgement Q
I know the owner who is just (not trying to insult) extremely technology stupid. I am trying to get general idea on value.
I think you would get better responses if you posted each coin separately, and out of their plastic. For a dozen coins, that might be more work than you want to do. But no one here is going to be able to throw out a reliable figure for a dozen coins that are difficult to identify from the photos. If you're particularly interested in buying or evaluating one or two, perhaps try to post those and I'm sure some folks would be happy to help.
Welcome to the Ancients Forum @planman2014 ! The only one that I can comment on is the one marked Judaean—Herod the Great. It may be authentic (I can't see it that well) what is noted as an eagle is actually an anchor. I can understand the anchor being mistaken for the wings of an eagle if the image is worn. Added thought on 10/4/17: The Herod coin could be from the Persian period and thus have an eagle on it. Could also be a coin depicting the eagle on the gate of the Temple of Jerusalem.
Personally, I would not pay more than $50 for the lot. Those are the type of coins you see in $5/coin piles at coin shows, just to get the conversation going.
We can not see the coins but we can see sufficient evidence to suggest the coins are next to worthless. The holders are IDed with terms like Roman "3-4th century". This probably means that the coin is so poor that it can not be identified. I don't mean it might confuse two sons of Constantine but that it is so poor you can't tell which side is up. Buy something else or pay the value that is safe for the information provided. If a seller wants to sell scraps of copper smaller than the size of a cent, he needs to show some reason that the coin value is not just one cent. If I owned those coins and were offered $50 for them, I could not accept without feeling dirty.
Check out vcoins.com for 1000s of ancient coins guaranteed to be authentic. Don't spend your money on mystery coins that look in poor condition.
I think $2-$3 each for these coins would be a fair price. The ones labeled "3rd-4th cent" are 4th century, probably all sons of Constantine the Great. My guess is that the other IDs are accurate but vague because of the poor condition. "Byzantine" doesn't tell you very much since the Byzantine Empire spanned 1,000 years. The coins are definitely not collector grade, but they would probably be interesting historical artifacts for non-collectors. If you just like the idea of owning some 1,000-2,000 year old coins, go ahead and offer $25.
