Help Identifying Coins Please

Good evening, I'm new to here and can't upload pictures but I have descriptions of two coins that I would appreciate help with identifying.

The first appears to be a Morgan Dollar but has no date and instead of the Eagle on the back has the Scales of Justice. It has One Troy Ounce on top of the Scales and Silver Trade Unit underneath. It is .999 Fine Silver.


The second has an Indian Head facing left and Liberty inscribed in his head band. It has a wreath wrapping around the back side with One Troy Ounce Silver .999 in the middle. On top of the wreath is a shield.


Thanks for any help
Brian

Welcome to CoinTalk.

It sounds like you have silver bullion. They are not coins. They may be .999 silver or they may only be plated. Many people sell bullion coins like this but generally those made by those with good reputions (e.g., the US Mint) will sell for more.
