Hello All,

Just rummaging through my childhood coins collection for the first time in more years than I care to count.

Can anyone help me out with IDs of any of the following?

Thanks – Phil.

Wow. Thanks for the rapid reply guys.

And the news I've got a Roman coin.

As a word of caution I can't help recalling that when I visited the corinium museum in Cirencester as a child they sold tons of replica roman coins, so could it be you have somehow acquired one of these replicas rather than a genuine one. Of course it could be a genuine one, in which case just ignore me, but I think it's worth bearing in mind.

Wow, I lived in Ciren for a few years as an adolescent, AND I dug on the Roman excavations they held in the 70s. When were you there?

It's very unlikely to be a replica, being so worn. Replicas are generally in reasonably high grade otherwise no-one would want them.
