Grandpa's Railroad safe cache

Finally found the combo to grand dads railroad safe and it was filled with coins! I took photos of several I cant id as well as a few Im wondering if they are real or not. in most photos both sides are shown the ones with several coins per photo I put numbers beside to make it easier to point out.



heavy gold coin about the size of a us dime but very thick and heavy. must be solid gold.






all of these I couldn't really put into specific grouping so just random leftovers





three and two cent coins




cobs? early american or spanish? I have no idea...



greek or roman coins?



more greek or roman coins?

Help IDing these and telling me if you think they are real or not and why or why not would be very helpful! Thank you all in advance!

On your "random" coins, I think #8 is a 1960D small date Lincoln cent. I can't see the date on #1 too well. It might be a small date too. On your "silver coins" only #2 and #8 are likely to actually be silver....the rest aren't. Your Monroe Half is a commemorative issued by the U.S. mint. Everything I see so far looks to be genuine but I don't have much expertise on the ancient foreign coins.

Yeh I had no idea what I had till I started researching more. If I am right some are from 14 to 32 AD thats crazy to me! I have no idea where he got these sadly he has passed away. The stories these coins could tell!

Now that you mention it and I look a bit closer, I think you're correct! So that cuts it down to one actual silver coin.

The Asian coins are Chinese cash coins from the Qian Long period (1736-1795) under Emperor Gao Zong. They are very common and are worth about a dollar a piece at most.

From the "Random Silvers," only the bottom right holed coin is silver.
