au50 and au53.
they're nice. I like the first one better than the second one.
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."

Full grade AU50 on the first. The second one is around VF35, based on the lower wing feathers, talons, and obverse lower drapery especially around the shield; hair is also flat. It is possible that it might be XF40 sharpness (it's borderline) but suffering from a really weak strike, flat as a pancake. The fields also seem rather rough and disturbed, especially the reverse; to me it has the look of an old light market-acceptable cleaning that had started to somewhat retone before its entombment in plastic.
