Thanks for all the input...
Both coins were in 2x2s and the light in the shop was not the best. I had trouble getting a good look using my phone with a magnifier attachment. So my bad for not reviewing them closer.
Regarding the weight. I thought if I used a blank 2x2 to TARE the scale I'd get a reasonable reading. As was pointed out to me in another post, this may not and did not prove an accurate method.
I popped them out of the capsule and took another reading: 1924 reads 26.673g, the 1926 26.700g. Tried another photo of the '26 with not much better results. Maybe it's just a not so good coin.
