Two nice coppers, I did some looking at your 1803 and fairly certain it is a Sheldon 254 variety, Rarity 2 (Common), if you wish to compare you can look at the example on this gentlemen's website, which usually has some good photos.

Thanks for IDing the 1803 for me. I would never have known that.
 
Nice coins. I found a coin similar to your 1805 a few weeks ago, it was toast. There is enough detail to see the outline of the face, not much else. Gotta like holding something in your hand that has not seen daylight for all those years. Congrats.
 
These are awesome.
