I have recently acquired these two coins. The Franklin appears to be in MS64-MS66 (Not an expert on the coins) and appears to have full bell lines.

The large cent, on the other hand, is in good condition but I can't tell if it has been lightly cleaned in the past.

Grading would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I think the large cent is cleaned because some of the copper color is showing through the black.

From your images I would put the Franklin at a minimum of MS64 FBL. I see little enough chatter to feel comfortable with that number and the bell lines are really great.

I cannot give a grade on the large cent but would like to say very nice.

I can see the franklin getting a MS-64 but I am leaning towards no FBL because the lower set doesn't look complete but it is close. G details: cleaned on the large cent.

LC would be G6 details and the Franklin would grade MS64. The area circled below would keep it from FBL.
