Are these bills real?

Not a coin, but I found these bills online and one I was looking at irl was sold. Do these bills look real or no?
One dates to 1781 and the other is 1775

Today’s Brimfield find. 1787 New York colonial

I’m not a colonial coin expert. I found this in a dark tent tucked in a display case. No info on the flip and I asked the lady what she was asking. She said $20. I figured I couldn’t go wrong at that so I grabbed it.

Got it outside and started researching a bit. This one seems to be a great find. From my research it’s the “seated right” variety. If anyone who knows more can give me a solid estimate on value, I’d greatly appreciate it. I figured I’d throw it into my next PCGS submission.
