Both coins went for prices way higher than I would expect.
The 1866 is no better than EF, and might be recolored or treated to make it look more reddish, to give the appearnance of an uncirculated coin. It is not AU or MS.
The 1859 has a lot of very nice details, and I'd grade AU58, but thisis not a $500 coin.
