They both look like the kind of cast copies sold as souvenirs at historic sites.

souvenirs would make sense. I will post edge pics as soon as I can. Thanks to this great community for all of your input!
Also @ crazyb0, before the authenticity of a coin is established how would one know to slab it? I'm sure many very old and valuable coins have been found in various jewellery box's and tons and drawers and so on.
Especially by ya more ignorant and novice people interested in this hobby.

Genuine coins don't have a "R" stamped on them. Your coins do. Your coins are FAKE, absolutely no question about it.   Edited by nss-52
