Hmmmm - the first coin - 1731 - if genuine is quite valuable. It is a 4 reale struck at the Madrid mint KM# 337.1. In VF it list at $700.
As for the second coin - I'm still workin on that one.

Yeah I saw the countermark - but I can't quite make out the legends. If you can list them - it would help.

Hey 2krazy, put that other link back up.
The one you had in your signature line.
It might help GDJMSP identify your coins.

Thanks for the link as I am far from knowledgeable re: ancients. But it seems to me, based on the info contained in that link, that you already knew what the coins were.
I agree that the 4 reale piece definitely shows signs of corrosion - as does the other coin. Even so - the 4 reale is in very good condition considering that. I don't think there would be any problem grading it VF.
I have already provided an approx. value in a previous post for the 4 reale. As for the other - afraid I have no idea. Perhaps another more well versed in ancients can do so.

Oh, OK. When I glanced at it, I didn't see anything for sale.
Yeah, the site owner would rather keep this forum free of advertising.
