As context, I'm going through my parents' old coins that they've had for decades in their safety deposit box. I'm posting some of the better ones for grading advice. Thanks.

They both look like AU coins. The second one, however has a rubber band stain on the reverse, which would be considered environmental damage.

Oh is THAT what it is? I was wondering. Ugh. I'm sure, back in the day, the used rubber bands to hold all of these together.

Here are two iphone photos to give you a sense of what the coins 'actually' look like -- less good focus, but truer lustre (or lack thereof). I'm finding that while the iphone photos aren't great for detail, they're quite good for capturing the essence of the coin, the lustre and color overall.
