Second one is a 1787 Connecticut colonial copper. It's one of the most common types. First one looks like a British halfpenny (if same size as the second), but too beat up to tell the exact date or if it's a genuine piece or a contemporary counterfeit, of which there are many.
Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff
