Both look fake to me. Many things wrong with both of these.

Do we get two guesses? Okay here goes: fake and fake. Both are crude replicas that should be marked as such. I imagine the weight/dimensions will be far off nominal.

Neither are real.

The most obvious giveaway on the Flowing Hair dollar is the presence of rim and beads, plus the details are wrong. If you look at a real Flowing Hair dollar, it has denticles that extend to the edges of the coin, no rim. It's got something to do with collars, but I can't remember what exactly.

Trade dollars weren't minted yet 1797, they started in 1873. This one looked pretty convincing to me until I noticed the date.

Both are fake too. The Seated has a crude date, and the Morgan has a 1921-only obverse.

I don't have a whole lot of experience, but these are very poor counterfeits.
