good buys or not good?

From looking on the coinsandcanada site doesn't sound like a great deal on the 1874 5c. The scratches will likely really hurt the value. The 1946 depending on how harsh a cleaning may not be too bad a deal judging from what prices these seem to go for. I havent seen a 1946 go for under $60 lately depends on the condition. Some photos would help us to give you a better idea
If your just using them to fill holes until you upgrade to an MS coin, then I'd say your O.K., however, if this is a permanent part of your collection, don't buy them. Reason being, every time you go to view your collection, it's the first thing you will always look at and remember about the coin.
