There have certainly been a preponderance of items from Iraq & Syria that were illegally plundered from ancient sites (both genuine & 'replicas/forgeries') in recent years , right up to the present date , anasmath84 .
Some of these items are surfacing on the 'antiquities market' , esp. in Germany (where enforcement/laws are still lax) ; proceeds from many of these items are a source of funding for terrorist groups that have a certain contempt for them & their origins .
If your provenance is as you say for these items , proceed with extreme caution , IMO !

I picked them up from landfills in Syria , I didn't stole them .
now in Syria , we have no goverment ..
I can't keep the items with me .

After doing a minimal amount of research , I learned the Syria had forbidden export of antiquities since 1964 .
I'd guess (for certain) that the only legit market for your items would be within Syria , per their laws .
Identity of your items as to actual dates , metal purity , source or origin & scarcity/demand for the coins is where to start .
Plenty of fakes abound , when it comes to antique coins , so maybe someone in your country could help with that part too .
Best of luck with finding buyer(s) , there in Syria , anasmath84 !
