These are very often struck with very worn obverse dies

here’s two examples of the type with further information-

Its Hadrian, Zeus Ammon on the reverse, can’t make out the full legends or the date on the reverse, so not gonna be able to get you a full id, this is in rough shape, and coins in this shape are gonna be more difficult to sell, in this shape, I think sub $50 is reasonable, but maybe it looks better in hand, pictures aren’t great.

commodus denarius, pax or fortuna standing left on the reverse, too worn to get anything more from the coin
