Got these in a recent lot of ME coins I bought. Pretty junk condition, but I'm curious what they are. If you can tell me where to look, I'm happy to find them myself. I don't even know where to begin though
Really cannot find the 1st one, looked through all the listings of the approx diameter and copper, which I assume it is and can't find it. Then again, I'm not entirely sure where it might be from. Indian states/Kingdoms?
I see what you mean about the first coin, the pattern is very odd and 'abrupt'. Are overstrike coins like this worth anything to anyone or should I scrap it? I'd still be curious what it was/is though. Thanks.

Judging by the rim pattern I'd agree with Petrus; basically Ottoman Empire or one of it's Eyalets/Vassals.

They do have value, certainly not worth scrapping.
