These both look at least AU-50. What do others think on grade...and on originality? Do the surfaces on Coin #1 likely indicate a cleaning? Thanks.

Top one looks XF to me, maybe cleaned.
Bottom one looks more AU, poor pics but I think I see mint luster left.

Coin #2 sold on ebay within about 1 day, and I didn't even see it until after it sold: 222867188080
Goes to show you need to watch ebay like a hawk to find deals.

I agree Coin #1 looks to be a lower grade, and w/o any luster whatsoever it seems hard to make it above a low AU (if that).

Sorry about that, is there an unwritten rule to post grading questions for just one coin at a time?

Thanks for the input everyone.
