Hello, fellow Coin Community Forum members! These wheat cents were purchased in a roll of uncirculated 1929/1930 cents. There are 8 or so in comparable condition, but these two I pick to be the finest of the lot, and wish to get your input on their actual grade. Each stunning coins with red luster, I'd weigh in and say at least MS-64. Whaddya think, folks? Any idea what they're worth?

Beauties...  Very nice, the first coin has that darn ding on the shoulder on the obverse and the other one has a few bag marks but they are nice, MS-64RB for each. |

these are beauties, however I guess my own personal opinions might be more skewed, or not inline with what most people grade.
the first coin has 3 large dings on the shoulder/coat as well as multiple bag marks on Lincoln's face and collar, the reverse has a spotting issue, as well as a good ding on the field beside the right wheat stock.
Personally this would be low 60's Red
Coin2
has dins on the shoulder/coat and Lincoln got a bad nose job. the reverse is nicer than coin 2, however it is stained, and has some rim dings at 3 and 5 o'clock
I would put this one in the same bracket as coin 2 MS62-63 red.
If I am too harsh, I am sorry again, my standards for 64/65 is high (maybe wrongly, but I am learning)

First coin, nice 65, beautiful obverse fields, some reverse spotting and possibly uneven coloring.
Second coin, fantastic reverse, but vertical chatter on obverse will limit grade to no more than 63.

Well here I go again ruining everyone's party. Listen Shnug you have a couple red blazers there but they have lots of problems. not with wear but with hits, digs ,scratches ,and spots. the best I can give these is MS-62-63 RD.

 MS-64 for both of them. |

I would put them both at 63RD. If you could pair the obverse of coin #1 with the reverse of coin #2, I think you'd have a 64.
Nice finds from a roll, that's for sure.

The first one has multiple small issues on both sides 63 maybe 64RD. The bottom one has some significant gashes in keys areas on the obverse that may hold it to 62 or 63RD tops. Still two nice pieces
