I am newer to early American coins and purchased these two Half Cents today at my local coin shop that had just come in. I was wondering if these could possibly have the original tone, or if they were possibly treated at some time? Also, what do you feel that they would grade? They are still in their 2X2's so I hope this does not alter the image quality too much. The 1826 has the reeded rim on the front and back. Any help or insights on these coins are greatly appreciated. I am also new at taking pictures of coins and just moved from scans to pictures, please let me know if they need to come out of the holders, or if the pictures are still poor.

You might need to tinker with those pictures, bro. They both look au to ms but look like they are scans or altered. So it's really hard to determine surface quality. At least for me. Maybe admins or members can adjust the contrast but  to CCF. |

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."

Color doesn't seem right. Abraded luster in the fields should indicate AU-58.

Need better pictures (straight on to the coin.) Out of curiosity, what did you pay for these two examples, if you don't mind sharing?
