Token Help

I found these tokens and would like some help IDing them. The first one came from Maryland about 25 years ago. The second one was found here in south Georgia at a Spanish/American War campsite last year.

Thanks for the quick replies. Was the first one made during the Civil War? The link to the second one states that the date is unknown but they have it listed as a CW token. There is also a big difference in price for the two.

What the second says is it's not dated, but i am very suspect of the page calling it a CW token. These seem common, and more modern, but I haven't found a good link to them. The first is definitely the keeper of the two.

The second one is modern.

The first one was made 1861-1865. the second one, I actually seen it listed as a possible Vintage amusement park token, but still without proper dating.

I think cheyenne nailed the second token.. Although this design was also made by the Roger Williams Mint (RWM) http://www.rogerwilliamsmint.com/ and The Hoffmam Mint (HM) http://www.hoffmanmint.com/tokens.html, I believe this is a modern brass Tokens Direct because it lacks any mint initials.(see pics) Certainly NOT a CW era token.
