The 51 has took a hit from the forehead to the ear & across the "T" on the reverse. There appears to be some crud of some kind on the field above "Liberty" (you could probably remove it). There's a nasty dark brown spot below the date by the rim. MS-62
The '53 is in good shape & merits MS-64, although side-by-side the strike is noticeably mushier than the '51.
