Someone else can chime in because I don't collect this series much...but they look a little off to me.

They look pretty worn and the one on right damaged but I like them. Unfortunately I am not any good at grading-sorry. Can you post images of the rim by chance? Might help on the evaluation and I.D.-ing. Thank you.
Rest in Peace

I will clarify that I meant 'off' as in possibly not genuine, no offense intended of course.

from the pic they look OK, the wear pattern of the '31 looks as if it may be bent, the '30 obviously has a few rim bumps, not uncommon with these because when they were in active circulation, there was a great many counterfeits in circulation as well, and anyone who was privilaged enough to handle money, did so with caution, and many of our larger coins now show evidence of having been "tested" ... again, both are probably authentic, lower grade, I dont know, G-VG for the '31 and probably F or somewhat better for the '30 with rim bruises, theyre only worth what someone is willing to pay, so unless either of them is a scarce overton variety, I would throw a guess in the air at somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 bux each, thats just a guess, they may be worth more to you, I would compare them to a few closed ebay auctions for a better evaluation.
