Hi,

Please provide me the necessary info. for me to be able to grade these two coins.

Any opinions on the grade or value of these two coins would also be helpful.

Thanks,
mdpmedia

These two are Japanese. 10 Yen. Minted from 1951 to date. These two appear to be from 1952 (left) and 1981, but I am not entirely sure - japanese numbers are tricky.

For value there is not much to hope for whatever year, the series does not have a single key date. Value in Krause is listed as at best $0,20 in VF for 1951-58 and have no listing below that grade. For newer coins no value is listed below EF.

Agree with Litotes' dating,
The left one is Showa 27 (1952), the edge should be reeded.
The right one is Showa 56 (1981), the edge should be plain.
