The second one VF35.

I like the toning on the second coin better. I think it will look nice under some light.

I would go VF 35 on the 1853. I would guess VF 20 on the 73. I prefer the 1873/
there are so many 53 half dollars why not go for a better grade, I also prefer the toning on the 1873

The 73 is lower grade but has much better surfaces. I would get the 73.
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."

1) EF-40.
2) VF-25.
From those pictures, I like how the first one looks more than the second.
