They are all genuine. The first two are the emperor Gallienus and the last one is the emperor Constantius II. These are all fairly common coins and value is only a few dollars each.

More info:
Top is Gallienus, Marti Pacifero:
GALLIENVS AVG
MARTI PACIFERO
Rome Mint RIC V-1 (S), Rome 236
Rated common, a very very common type

Second is Gallienus:
GALLIENVS AVG
AETERNITAS AVG (no proper english translation, effectively means 'Everlasting ruler')
Rome Mint RIC V-1 (S), Rome 160
Rated Common (this one is also very very common issue)

Third is Constantius II:
Constantius II
DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG
GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS
SMK gamma
Cyzicus RIC VIII Cyzicus 16
Listed as Common

It might be a misreading the last one - if it says DN CONSTANTIVS then its correct, otherwise it says DN CONSTANTINVS which would make it Constantine II.

The Gallienus' AE "sole rule" issues are mostly of low value. Except for the "Legion" & "Bull" types.
