The first coin is from the state of Occidente which was formed from the present states of Sonora and Sinaloa in 1824. In 1830, the state of Occidente was divided into the present states of Sonora and Sinaloa. The coin is a 1/8 real, copper. The legend, if clearly legible, would read ESTADO DE OCCIDENTE.
The coin measures 18mm (some sources say 20mm) and was issued in only two years; 1828 and 1829.
The date would appear under the Liberty Cap.
Keep swinging.

Thank you Don

I was waiting for your description☺️

I had never seen a coin like this.

We found two.

A
Is it categorized as a rare coin? Any valuable worth? ( We can read perfectly Estado de occidente )

The other is on the way to be carefully cleaned.

Thanks for your valuable comments, as always πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ½
 

Hello Jorgeke,
The reference book I"m using (2019) shows the 1828 coin having a value of $55 in G4 condition. The '29 coin is valued at $45 in the same condition. Those values are doubled in VG-8 condition.
You might find the coin also referenced as being minted in Alamos.
I have no record of the mintage number.

Your clipped coin is a 1/4 real, copper showing seated Liberty. The coin is from the state of Chihuahua as noted by the 'E. CHIHa and LIBERTAD on the obverse legend. This coin is from the series 1860, 1861, 1865 and 1866. The year and the denomination is on the reverse (not shown in your pics).

Excellent finds
