Could anyone confirm that the first two are:

The first two are correct; the weights are correct for the denominations.

The third has the design of a gold guinea of 1788, but there are three key differences: it's not made of gold, it's got a scalloped edge, and the letters "WA&C" are beneath the portrait. This is a card game counter, not an official coin; "WA&C" will be the initials of the company that made it.
