Can’t find any info online about these so if anyone knows anything I’d appreciate it.

The one on the left side looks like it's from a collectors set type of thing commemorating the 200th birthday of Lincoln. I found a site that sells the set.
Here.
The other one I imagine is from some similar type of set.

Wow, thank you! Obviously my search term-fu is lacking since I couldn’t find this on my own.

It took a couple attempts. I noticed the year after the first search and added that and that's what eventually got me results.

These are pretty common souvenir thingys sold in magazines to old people. I have a quarter with George Bush's portrait printed on the back, It was a gift from an old person.

Hmm, interesting. I was pretty surprised to find three of these in a huge pile of pennies & thought others may not have ever seen these either.

They may be common but I’m pretty impressed with the quality. I prefer the colors of the right one but the detail on the left one is kinda crazy.
