Got these for someone as a gift, but curious what BU quality cut off is, especially on the morgan.

Thanks in advance. (Still working on picture taking so feel free to advise)

I'd go 61 over 63 on the Morgan, and ... well, it could be the lighting, but the Walker looks AU to me from here. Nice coins for sure though! What a gift!

The Morgan looks low MS to me, 60/61

The walker in my opinion is MS-63,still has the mint bloom center obverse.

The Morgan is too close for me to want to call from images. The obverse worries me more than the reverse, but both faces show marks that seem to be consistent with circulation.

The morgan looks AU because of all those wear marks, especially on the high parts. I'm calling it an AU58

I think BU is generally a 63 grade. The Morgan to me looks AU 58 and I can't tell on the walker.

The Morgan looks AU to me, and the Walker might get a 62.

I'm definitely at AU for the Morgan. The marks on obverse of the Morgan are consistent with circulation. The "wear" above the ear and elsewhere doesn't bother me, looks more of a weak strike... But the hits and dings don't look like I'd expect from bag marks... But rather light circulation.

For the walker I'm on the fence between AU-58-Low MS... Slider maybe?
