I'd wait for more opinions, but if you can get a refund on the Morgan I'd start thinking about that option immediately.... that is a fake for sure. Also... for the price... you'd need to be sure that was about an MS-66 certified... the price you paid raw is... high. The wheat cent... nothing immediately jumps out at me, but your pictures aren't great. Can you take some more pictures of that one?
