Does anyone know what these are? They are very similar in size and style to widows mites, but the symbols on them don't look like any of the ones I've seen on widow mites in the past. The penny is for size comparison. These are from my friends uncle who recently passed away. He collected everything.

Can you also show pics of the reverse side?
Yes, the fourth coin resembles a Widow's Mite with the exception that your 'dots' are between the spokes of the wheel versus being at the end of the spoke.
Another difference: The wheel 'hub' on your coin is a circle but on WMs it's a 'dot'.

Here are a couple of images of the reverse side. I thought the same thing by the wheel. It is close, but not an exact match.
