The second coin is a $1, 1921 Y#329.
I can't identify the first one.

Couple of useful links...

The first one is a fantasy dollar, depicting Huang Taiji, the first emperor of the Qing dynasty; you can find the whole series of Qing monarchs on these fantasy dollars. No genuine Chinese coins had a design like the obverse of this one; the reverse is taken from the Yuan Shi-Kai dragon dollar.

As for the second one, consider the source: if it came from the same place as the first one, then it's most likely a reproduction, too.

I suspect that everything this guy was selling was fake or a reproduction. My mom bought me these for 2 dollars each from a guy at a county fair.

Yep, two bucks a coin is the standard going rate for Chinese repro dollars. They're exported from China by the shipping-container-load.  Cry
