I bought these a long time ago from a uncleaned ancient coin lot on Ebay. I cleaned them up quite a bit and was wondering what they are, there values and if I did a good job of cleaning them.

When you say the first was a nice one do you mean I ruined it with electrolysis? Also, im still in the learning process of cleaning and identifying ancient coins, are any of these worth more than the $1-$2 I paid for each coin.
