Well, come on! The first one is a another death ray S-167! Easier to see on this one that it's a 1798.

I saw that but didn't want to violate your copyright to the name.

pretty sure #2 is a 1797, but she's been through the ringer....

#2 is 1797, and seems to have the reverse of 128 or 129. If you can make out the M in AMERICA, it should be stamped over an E. The height of the 2nd 7 and position of the letters in LIBERTY make me think S-128. Agree or disagree?

And happy post #50! Looks like I'm coming up on an odometer-flip number of posts as well.

I've got 2 more drapped bust beauties in slightly better but still rough shape if you want to see them. 1800 & 1805....

The second one is a 1797 and I would say probably S-126. It is definitely the rev of 125,126,and 127 with the upright of the E in ONE almost directly over the upright of the T in CENT. On 125 and 127 the second 7 does not touch the bust but it does on 126.

But, Conder, don't you think the last outer leaf at the left wreath is pointing to the right of the second T in STATES? Doesn't it point to the left on S-125, 126, and 127?
Look again; quite corroded in that area of the reverse, but the upright of the E seems well to the left of the upright of the T.
