They appear to be "dryer coins"....coins that were stuck in a dryer and just worn down. The rims being worn down is the big clue on these.

They just look excessively worn, and being stuck by a dryer tumbler is a great way to wear down coins. We had a dryer which had several coins that looked like that when I changed a belt, I found them.

Greetings,

Thank you for your answers. I would have never thought of "Dryer coins" but I suspected they were just worn down.
