the coin from 1791 is 0.60 oz or 17.1 g,roughly 1.5 inch or 3.8 cm

the coin from 1873 is 0.62 oz or 17.5 g,roughly 1,5 inch or 3.8 cm
for measure I need a finer tool for measurments.

Unfortunately they are both fakes. The 1791 coin is a fantasy, Trade dollars like these were not issued until 1873. The 1873 coin is a rather crude copy of a pattern for the Trade dollar, the genuine one looks like this: https://coins.ha.com/itm/patterns/1...a/422-1503.s

U.S. mint didn't exist yet in 1791. Both are crude fakes. Trade dollar should weigh 27.22 grams.
