Both show some signs of having been struck with tired dies and are just worth face value. Also, I've fixed that typo in the title for you.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19148 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 07:22 am Agree with all above. Die Deterioration on the '64, much post-strike damage on the '62. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 3:45 pm The first thing for you to learn is, if you have a scratch, groove, ding, or any other mark on a coin that has a corresponding buildup of metal to go along with it, 99.99% of the time it's damage. Errors are not a common thing. Sometimes you search hundreds of coins before you find a keeper. It's not an error unless it happens at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
