 to the community The third coin is a late Roman Imperial of the late 4th century. The pictures are too small to tell who it is. |

Could you post closer, separate images of the obverse and reverse of each coin, please.
The first two, if it is really Gaddafi, are Libyan (probably not gold and silver but copper-brass for the first and aluminum or copper-nickel for the second) and the third one is ancient, but I'll let the ancient coin experts deal with that.

The bust on the Roman coin looks to be that of Licinius, but the picture is too small to say for sure. The roman coin is worth about $5 minimum in that condition. If it were cleaned *properly* it could go for $15 - $20. It would go well in my collection. You should start up an ancient collection, too!

The Gaddafi "coins" are unofficial medal-coins, put out in 1979 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the overthrow of the monarchy. They are in fact silver and gold. The silver one is here, the gold one is here. The third "coin" in the set was a silver coin the same size as the gold one.

If you click on the links I provided, you'll see the book prices for the Gaddafi "coins". They're worth more than bullion value. And those values date from before the Libyan conflict began. With Gaddafi's death, they may well increase in value considerably, at least for the short term.

I would not have thought they were real gold or silver as neither looked that way in the picture. Since his death and the circumstances surrounding it, I imagine these coins will be worth quite a bit over spot. Depends on the mintage I guess |

Look on the same line as the $ sign. For the silver, it is listed at Extra Fine (XF40) for $75 and for the gold the Extra Fine (XF40) is $825. If they are in better shape they are more valuable.
So yes, if they are authentic, they are valuable. Congrats!
