The first one is a DETAILS coin because of the "E" punched into it.
The second one I'd call XF-45 with a slight chance at AU-50.

According to Mike Sherman, this coin appears to be from the famous Economite Hoard, believed concealed in the late 1830s and rediscovered in 1878. Many were counterstamped with an "E" or "L." Found in the town of Economy, Pennsylvania, the coins had been hidden away by members of the Harmony Society, a communal group headed by George Rapp, who claimed divine guidance. Today, we would certainly regard this group as a cult. The Economy community was modestly successful in the mid 19th century, and played a small role in financing several projects around Western Pennsylvania and Indiana. In or around 1836, the "Rappites" as they were called, sealed approximately $75,000 in face value of U.S. silver coins in a vault and covered it in brick and mortar. For the next 42 years or so, the coins remained sealed in the dark, damp vault. Then in late 1878, the coins were found, blackened and tarnished from their long storage.

1815 AU58 impressive clash over the date

1815 - interesting countermark as mentioned above. Details are better in my opinion than the 1825. The planchet looks rough to me. Perhaps some kind of environmental damage? AU details, if not for the countermark I'd say 55-58

1825 - has better eye-appeal than the 1815 but more wear on the high points. AU 55
