I looked at the first coin and noticed the rim ding, notice how the metal is pushed away, rather than broken. Thats bad for the coin but good indicator of coin being authentic. Fake Trade dollar rims will fracture and break off like cast iron metal..... I would wiegh them first, then go to libarary , look through the coin books, especilly 2008 Yeoman , good deal of information about Fakes verses Authentic. Beware ...there are some real good fakes , not easily detected as fake, that have made there way into the United States. Good luck, sorry couldn't be of more help.
