I know the pictures are not that good but I'm just looking for a rough grade.   |

The Boone looks about MS64-65, it exhibits nice luster even though it has the spots. The Monroe I can't tell too well, it appears cleaned because of the absence of luster. I'm not sure, maybe you can be a better judge.

The images are too dark and not sharp enough for me to offer any definitive grading thoughts.
That said, I would suggest that the Monroe is XF/AU due to the level of obverse and reverse wear that seems to be present.
The Boone might make a low mint state grade, but appears to be at least a nice AU.
Better pictures would yield more accurate responses from the experts here on CCF.

How do you take good pictures of coins. The flash just blinds the coin

The lighting in my house is horrible. None of the lights seem bright enough for the pictures.

Mines the same way. Thats why during the day I take pictures on the hood of my car and use the sunlight. Just put a piece of paper behind the coin

Try adding a second light source opposite the one you are using.

Not to pile on with 'advise' ... but also take the coins out of those 2x2 so we can see the coin.
I am able to grade classic silver commemorative with some accuracy ... but unable to offer any opinions on either of these examples pending in-focus photos out of the 2x2.
Looking forward to doing my best to support you ...

Boone looks MS-63 to me and the other one seems to be VF?
