I bought these at an antique store and have no clue if they are real.

Those pictures do not help determine, but I don't have a good feeling about them. Maybe remove them carefully from their 2x2 and take a picture of each one separately front and back.
Also, would you share what price you paid for them?
Rest in Peace

Even with bad photos, those are both poor fakes.

The left is showing brass under the silver plate.
The right is a poor cast fake.

Sorry for the bad news.

They are not likely antiques, either.

$13 isn't easy to lose. If it helps any there have been folks that paid hundreds of dollars for each bad coin.

Two of the most counterfeited/copied coins out there.
