I recently got these two coins from a local coin dealer. The 3 cent has a pretty big flaw on both sides but the rest of it is in okay shape. The dime is in pretty good shape, nothing to noticeable. Paid $3.50 for the 3 cent piece which I figured was a pretty good price.

3 cent is plugged so there is no real numismatic value but for the price you paid, if you're satisfied thats really the name of the game

the Winged Head looks like a decent enough XF details cleaned...maybe a bit higher cleaned details, but there will be more opinions to come

Cool plugged 3 cent coin. Some collect holed or plugged coins because of the history and mystery this adds to the coins.
Likw why the hole? And why the pkug. I have read many accounts of folks that punched holes in coins
then wore them around there neck under there shirt. Some punched holes and wore there coin as braclets.
I was told if the hole looks kinda square or the hole is not a perect circle it is old.
Punche with a tool and hammer not drilled.
Your Mecruy dime look to be EF details to my eyes.
