The practice of countermarking coins was particularly common in the provinces of the Roman Empire. Countermarks were applied to coins for many reasons, including revalidation, revaluation, devaluation, and propaganda. Exactly when and why any individual countermark was applied is often uncertain.
Researching in any of the 12+ reference sources here, will get you closer to ID-ing your coins:

The bottom right countermark is described as a 'laurel branch with four leaves in a rectangular punch'.

Can you clean the two coins on the right; espeically the punch marks?
Thanks,

As a clue to the age of these coins, note that almost all bronze coins issued before the late third century AD bore the letters SC on the reverse.

Bottom left is Vespasian. Around 70AD.
He's quite easy to spot with that punch face

To make an estimate of value, the coin should at least be ID-ed as to the emperor.
Do you have that information for any of the coins?
