there is a place to ask for identification help:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?board=7.0

and it's recommended that you post only one coin per thread


but I will try and help a little - #2 looks like it is from Tomis - Geta or Elagabalus and #4 looks like a Constantine era follis with Jupiter on the reverse


the other two are provincials - #1 may be severus alexander

You will also have to lighten your pictures a bit.

Try to take individual photos of front and back of each coin.  Turn your flash off.  Put the coins on a darker background.  Against white the camera will darken the entire coin.  Against a darker background and the coin will appear lighter.
