I'm presuming that these are either Greek or Roman.

Are they in a saleable condition?

They are both Roman

#1 Emperor Maximian 285-305 and 306-308 and 310. IMP MAXIMIANVS PF AVG
Reverse looks like Moneta standing left holding scale and cornucopia. I can't read the inscription.

#2 Is the first emperor Augustus 27 BC-14 AD, I can make out some of the obverse inscription it could be one of two IMP CAESAR DIVI F AVGVST COS VII or IMP CAESAR DIVI AVGVSTVS IMP XX. Reverse is PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVM POT XXXIIII. Though overcleaned this is a nice coin of Augustus.

The second coin is the last Augustus bronze coin (while he was alive) to be made in a Roman mint (11-12 A.D.)R.I.C. 471 and it reads,
Obv:IMP CAESAR DIVI F AVGVSTVS IMP XX
Rev:PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVN POT XXXIIII
Hope this helps.
