Could use some help identifying his coin.Could not find it anywhere....
Is the following coin gradable, if so what would you give it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The second one looks like a 1788 Massachusetts Cent
no period after Mass.
Couldn't tell you if real, How much it may be worth,
but it's in rough damaged shape.
The first one looks like a Machin's Mills Copper Halfpenny
maybe 1774, but looks funny & may not be real.
Others will know way more than I.

The Mass cent looks real to me but with an unfortunate major planchet flaw on the rev, replacing the eagle's head with a red distress pennant. It is an interesting piece as a result but I have reservations as to whether it would be gradable.
I do not know what you have but it could be authentic, contemporary counterfeit, or one of the above.

The 1774 is not a Machin's Mills issue. The "build quality" says contemporary counterfeit.
Do these counterfeits have a collector following?
