Knowledgable person replied in your other post of the two coins, sorry they're just cast copies.

Welcome to Treasurenet.... Sorry, they are copies, a lot of businesses along the east cost sell and give them away. The edges are a dead giveaway..

Unfortunately they're low quality cast copies as others have stated. They weren't made to deceive, just made as novelties. Counterfeit coins that are made to deceive can be much more difficult to identify, especially in photos. The ones in your photos are very easy to identify as copies, even without seeing them in person. Hopefully someday you'll find some real ones. Good luck.
