I would grade the first as F12 but with a small corrosion spot on the reverse at 3 o-clock on the star.

I would grad the 2nd as G06.

I would guess VF-25 on the first and F-12 on the second.

I always err on the side of "conservative" when grading from photographs. I originally had the 1866 at VF20, but changed it...there are almost no center lines on the stars on the reverse and the right rim is very weak/worn. I think the 2nd one could grade anywhere from G to F, but as I said, I tend to err on the conservative side.
