I rescued these coins from a Grocery store coin star yesterday.
Besides American coins there were 2-1 URN Thailand coins and 1 Italian 20 Euro coin in the bunch.
Could these 4 be Hammered?
Could they have been purchased as a replicas?
I cleaned them by leaving in cooking oil for a few hours and then used a soft toothbrush followed by soap and water by hand.
I always look at the posts here that involve hammered coins but i cant remember seeing anything like them.
I hope the pictures are easy to follow.
Any help to confirm there origin and Authenticity would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,

Sure look like the old bronze roman coins......:dontknow: Great eye if there legit!
 

Are you :censored: kidding me!? :icon_scratch:
 

NICE COINS?!!!!
 

In a coin star? Man, some people are just dumb.
 

Look legit to me! I'm sure one of these guys will authenticate/identify them soon enough for you. :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

If those are legit Roman coins (which they appear to be ) That is just ridiculous ! you found those in a coin star reject ??? Wow !!!
 

I've bought quite a few Roman coins over the years and yours look legit to me....the off center strikes, split planchet and a few other details lend credence that they are more than likely the real deal.

How is this possible??
 

That's killer if they are real. They definitely look dug so if they are not someone did a great job on them. Cru will set us straight. :)
 

Keep in mind that most common Bronze Roman coins in average condition can be bought for $5/$10 range so not enough to retire on but still a neat score since the cost was zero.

when dummies and coin machines are mixed daily you get what I call an ATM. SUPER SAVES, condolences to the dummy (NOT). if they had a yard sale, they would have priced those at 25 cents for the lot. so you saved 25 cents!!
 

Does a coinstar reject silver coins cause the idiots that dumped these in probably dumped a boatload of silver too
 

Great scores! The one on the lower left looks "silverish", perhaps it is a debased silver or billon Antoninianus.
 

crazy lucky coinstar find...... un bee leave a bull!!!!
 

I used to give those to my son when he was little - they are legit but you can buy bags of those from coin mags -
millions were found "over there" middle east area and Med. area
