i am at 40 on both coins. need more clasp detail, and more hair detail on obverses. eagle weak on head, claws and arrow details. both have nice residual luster in recessed areas.

RE 1824 .... I had that exact same kind of small light green spot(s) on a couple coins. It practically floated away in a short dip in acetone. Lifted itself right off with a light sweep of a Q tip while submerged. Then a rinse in distilled water will save you a later issue. Now is the time to do it right.

35 and 40 would be the conservative grades and while they might go up 5 points, neither coin looks close to AU to me.

Coin 1 35-40, pvc residue both sides, looks to be retoning over a dip job.
Coin 2 30-35, looks to be retoning as well, note the identical color and surfaces to coin #1

I was thinking EF-45 for both.

I have often seen bust halves struck better on one side than the other. I see this in both of these beautiful examples. EF 45 would be a conservative grade for both.

40 and 40
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
