IMHO - Two coins, both fakes.
You cannot get so many flan cracks in exactly the same places on two different coins by chance.
The strike is also too 'close' to be coincidence.
The minor differences that you see in the top leaf of the laurel and the (almost) lowest curl of hair, are the sorts of differences that you get between coins from a similar mould or a 3d printer.
Size and Weight comparison of both? - If they are close it confirms in my mind that both coins are from the same process.
I hope that I am wrong, but that is what I believe, and why.
I am with FR - but I think his $40 for each is 'generous'.
