Tough call - tell us about the luster, please!

I will attempt to get better pics. The luster on the obverse is showing through in multi areas and the reverse: 1st coin has amazing luster, the second coin has luster but harder to see due to the pink and green toning.

They could be AU-58 "sliders", or perhaps in the 63 range, toning obscures a lot. Overall, they're somewhat lacking  in eye appeal. |

They are worth every bit of $19, but probably not too much more.

Two very nice coins. You've already picked up on the killer feature of the first - it's a repunched mint mark, O/O. Which particular one - there are many for this issue - isn't certain yet. The date appears to be in the location referred to as "Very Far," but the best match for the appearance of your mint mark - VAM-22 - has a date placed lower than yours. It's worth tossing around a bit.

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."
