They are probably pulls and no telling how long they have sat, but with the cost and rarity of these now might be worth a try if still using a CoCo with floppys. They have some 96 TPI 5.25" drives also... those are 720K IIRC, as used in the Tandy 2000. I don't recall how compatible those are with 360K disks, but I'm sure there are some here who remember.

The 96tpi 720k 5.25" floppy drives are exactly like 720k 3.5" floppy 
drives.  That is normal DD data rates.  The heads are half as wide so 
there you can have problems if you try to write to a 40 track (48tpi) 
floppy disk.
