Requests for identification should always be posted to the Identification Board. Only if you strongly suspect a coin to be fake should it be posted to the Fake Board. Merely asking if it is genuine or not is not sufficient reason to post it here. Therefore I am going to transfer all of these posts to the Identification Board. Also, for future reference, please include diameter and weight when asking about coins, either for ID or questions of validity. In any case, all of your coins appear to be genuine. There is no reason I can see to be suspicious of any of them.

Though there are by far more experienced people to judge the authenticity of this coin, i see no reason to question it.
The full identification of your coin is:

Vespasian Denarius, 73 AD

Obverse - IMP CAES VESP AVG CEN, laureate head right
Reverse - SALVS AVG, Salus seated left with patera
RIC 513, sear5 2307, RSC 431.
