17th Century Shipwreck Thalers. Real or fake?

I've got an opportunity to purchase the following two shipwreck coins which I've borrowed to inspect more closely. They are not currently identified (or priced) so I've done my best to figure out what they are.

Two questions.

1. Do they appear real?
2. What would a ball park value on them be in the condition shown?

KM#52.1 Brunswick Wolfenbuttel 1625 Thaler, weighs 28.64g

KM#29.14 Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle 1627 Thaler, weighs 28.12g

without the name of the shipwreck they came from, together with a COA of the salvage team, theres no bonus.
no idear of the value , but they look OK and in very nice condition

Look ok from here. I do not know the value of such coins. Best bet is to check Ebay for similiar coins.
