Common I think, but reverse is a question?

I believe both of these are common, but I cannot seem to find an example of the reverse on the left coin, holding a globe? and I am not sure about the right coin, metal is breaking out but there is a little more crud, keep going? you guys are the best! Paul

IF the coin is beginning to disintegrate, it is best to stop now even though it is not cleaned all the way.
