The planchet stress marks are exactly the same albeit kind of soft. A few tiny bubbles are in the same place. Twins, they weigh out at 26.95 and 26.63 grams, fair for the wear. Is it uncommon to find twin fakes? Guessing they are class 2. I need to figure out how to photograph the tiny details.

Definitely not. Usually they are modern forgeries when that happens but I have run into several cases where even contemporary circulating counterfeit coins appeared in one collection.

Pictures are still important to categorize what you might have.

Yup, twin specimens of a previously seen fake... Have seen them amongst other "rim toned" Chinese fakes, and also in those notorious Postal Commemorative Society holders.
