I'd say VF-30, maybe 35, for both. The second coin is better than the fiest, IMO.

45 and 35
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

OK, well here it is. They might be graded correctly but they both got it wrong!   |

Where the 2 TPG's got it wrong is the actual attribution of the coins. They are both 1840 (O) Reverse of 1838 and NOT 1840 Reverse of 1839. A little difference in the coin and the price. |

My grade for the first one would be VF-30. It has lots of wear, and is not really close to EF-40. The second grade is accurate. I would have said VF-20, but VF-25 is close enough.
