Hi guys I bought these 3 coins on eBay and I had a difficulty identifying them. Sorry I don’t have diameter and weight info. Do they look authentic to you? Thanks.
The small silver one if real is a legionary denarius of the VII or VIII legion struck under Marc Anthony. Obverse: Galley right, with sceptre tied with fillet on prow; above and below, inscription. Reverse: Aquila (legionary eagle) between two standards; across eagle. The number of the legion is under the standards. You can find a similar coins here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces66598.html
I think the coins isn't real but it could just be due to the bad photo. Try opening a new topic about this coin with better photos and if possible the size and weight of the coin. Add the title "Marc Anthony legionary denarius" to attract members with knowledge of ancient coins.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
Thank you for the information. These pieces seem off to me but I am not 100 percent sure they are not genuine but now I believe they are all modern tokens.

Thanks! I think the problem has been solved and they are modern forgeries!
Quote: "CassTaylor"Hello,
None of them look authentic to me- but I can only identify the bottom one as a Normatensyl fake of a Ferdinand and Isabella Spanish coin.
