Tough to get a good feel for this coin with photos provided, given the gunk on the reverse and what appears to be wear on Abe's hair I'll jump in and say AU-58/55.
For some reason reverse gives me the feeling of being cleaned.

I'm thinking AU as well.
Errers and Varietys.

the obv is in the mid AU range 53/55 and possibly lightly cleaned. the surfaces are little dull for a mid AU coin. the reverse looks high VF or low end XF. A TPG would go with the lowest grade side. when there is a disparity like this I go with the obv |

I'd call it Au55 but better photos would help a lot.

The hair, cheek and beard show wear. Like your other coin, the wheat lines are beginning to flatten and merge and the grains show wear.

Both coins look too light, I suspected an old cleaning, probably a clothes washer in pants pocket at some point. lol However, I assumed it was the pictures, these should be a darker shade of brown. Hard for me to tell with a black background!  Edited by BadThad
