I'm at VF30 for the '51 and VF35 for the 55. I see too much wear on the leaves of the reverse to be in the XF range. Also, the ear and hair have worn together, which keeps these from XF IMO. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to add these to my Dansco!
I'd agree with VF30 on both coins the 1855 might push VF35.
